What does "Guaranteed" mean on a passenger list?

Hi sheddyg
Mmmm ... could actually have several meanings. 
Are you asking in relation to a specific voyage ?
If you can give year / name of vessel / NZ province where ship arrived, then we can probably give a more definitive answer.

If you just do a search "guaranteed immigration" at Papers past you get some good refs and explanations
http://paperspast.natlib.govt.nz/cgi-bin/paperspast?a=d&cl=search&d=HBH18640302.2.3.2&srpos=3&e=-------10--1----2%22guaranteed+immigration%22-all
this one explains that some people had been nominated from the colony others agents had selected them.
Over the years there were many schemes to get settlers, some had passage paid, pledges to work, sponsored etc or paid to live and settle specific areas
Archives has some records otherwise you often see adverts in the papers where people need to repay passage etc..
Bye
Althea

Cheers Althea ... that's what I was heading towards. 
[The term (rather strangely) could also apply to those who didn't necesssarily qualify as assisted immmigrants (perhaps due to age restrictions), but wished to make the journey to NZ and thus were able to fund the voyage themselves. i.e. Unassisted immigrants "guaranteed" passage as long as it was self-funded.]

Many Thanks Lu and Althea - interesting link.
The "Wild Deer" sailed from Greenock to Otago (Dec 6th 1873 - Mar 9th 1874)
Mrs Catherine BOWMAN - and her daughters on board. I am guessing that husband Richard was already there and had applied for "guaranteed immigration" for his family and probably had to pay passage money - which must have been quite a lot for a large family. The family were Irish - not sure whether that makes a difference  . And I think Richard worked on the railway (engine driver) so maybe the railway people encouraged immigration.
