Surname indecipherable. #55 surname could be Lirey (possibly for Leary) or Liney or Livey. #57 surname probably McCue. #59-60 surname possibly spelled McConossy or McConomy or McConorry or McCononery. #67 age could be 38. #75 surname could be Parke or Parker. #80 age possibly 16 or 14. #83 age possibly 26. #84 surname could be Warnock or Warnoak. #85 surname could be O'Brien or Brien. #92 surname possibly Withero. #98 occupation possibly servant, but very light film. #104 middle initial could be J or A. #105 surname possibly Cronan, alternative spelling for Cronin. #106 surname could be McGonegal or McDonegal. #107 first name possibly Pat. #109 age could be 28 or 23. #133 surname could be McMonagh or McMonagle. #136 surname same as #59-60. #139-140 though these surnames were written differently, it is possible that they were meant to be the same name. #147 surname looks like Bonar or Bonas; age could be 76 or 16. #153 surname could possibly be Bell or Bela; last letter is obscured. #154 surname could be Maxwell or Maswell. #163-166 surname same as #133. #165 this could be the child who died. Though the final column was cut off on copy, part of the column has the child's name written in it, which on other lists is often the beginning of a note giving the death information. This was not found for any of the other passengers, so it is likely that this child did not survive the voyage. #184 surname could be spelled Stans or Stairs perhaps. #189 age could be 7 or 9. #201 age could be 16. #203 age possibly 20. #205 age could be 15 or 16. #206-207 surname could be Faiel or Friel or Farel perhaps. #208 name could be John M. Alen or McAlen, but not at all certain of surname; very light. #209-210 surname possibly McNutt or McNabb. #213 gender written male, and Isabella had been written over another first name, possibly James.
