Note:- The embarkation return shows that sixteen girls came out on the "William Thompson". The list above contains the names of 14 girls. The names of the other two girls are not known. One may have been Mary Newbury's sister (if the Mary N -- mentioned in Margaret Tebbett's letter is Mary Newbury) or they may have been Mrs Ormandy's children. Presumedly they weren't apprenticed at the time the return was made and hence were omitted from the list.
