British Bonus:
A commission paid by the Canadian government's Immigration Branch to steamship booking agents in the United Kingdom for each suitable immigrant who purchased a ticket to sail to Canada. The immigrants themselves did not receive a bonus.

Hi, kazdel, glad you could find it...Give me the exact information to find the page and I'll see if I can clear it up for you. Depends on how bad the whole scan is, but I'll give it a go when I have time... J.J.

OOps, myself, as I am not that nice...  Had you not written down the page this was originally found on in your notes?
Don't have time to scroll through pages, sorry...I will still attempt a clearer
image for you if you can tell me the page it is on though...

Oh, boy I do hope that scanner got paid well for that hard day's work (NOT!)
How hard is it to do some adjustments on the scanner and program? But oh, no...it's off to the next page, same setting everytime no matter how dark or light...In other words...No luck really, it was likely easier to read before...
There is so little information in the lousy scan that I can't pick out any more from the image. It likely is your couple as the 2nd name looks like Katie...But the surname hasn't enough letters...I think it looks to say Chambern....but if you have them leaving Liverpool as well, then it's likely just quick jotting on the part of the information taker
I'll post anyway......#$*!#*!!!! Sorry I couldn't do any better...when I scan my own at the archives I can bring in images that are barely grey on white...but one needs enough bits and pixels to work with first....

After finding the ships manifest on the collectionscanada scrolling through the names I came across 'British Bonus Allowed' stamped by what I think are the names of the Chamberlains (the writing is so faded I can hardly make it out) but does anyone have any idea what this meant please.
There is an explanation of British Bonus Allowed at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/ships/canada/manifest-markings.shtml YOu have to look down the page a bit to see it, it is below the 2 column list of what is available in Canadian Passenger Lists before and after 1865.
