Dear Alan, Elaine and lists I have the book with all of the names on the monument in St Davids it was published in 1988. The names were taken from the passengers list from my book "Norfolk Island Embarkations to VDL 1807-1813" While speaking of monuments there is also one on the wharf in Hobart with the names of all of those who arrived on the Ocean and the Lady Nelson with Lt. Gov. Collins in 1804. (both are in the Tasmaniana Library in Hobart) In 1988 plates were places on all known headstones of the First Fleeters who died in VDL. I also have this list . In the new year I hope to add these names to my website in preparation for 2007-8 when there will be celebrations in Hobart for the arrival of those who came to Hobart from Norfolk Island in 1807-8. Many marriages were performed between these two groups after the arrival of the 500 persons from Norfolk Island in 1807-8, making these two groups very important to the early history of Tasmania. I have photos of both of these monuments if anyone is interested.
