Susan, I would hazard a guess that v = visitor.

But, as Gins says, having a look at the record always helps. We don't presume to redo your research but if you're asking for help it aids us if we can see the bigger picture.

Thanks for the offer of help but I have done all the research as I have been doing it for 27 years just wanted to know what the v meant

My Gt Grandmother went to Canada in 1890. By her name on the ships list is a small v There is also a v against the name above hers. No one else on the page has a v next to their name
Has anyone out there any idea what this v could mean.
She sailed on the Allan Line ship the Circassian
