Hi Caroline, There are various lists - and even more that just have "4 passengers" and no names. There are some that came under a particular scheme such as the Geelong & Portland Bay Immigration Society. There are a few indexes but maybe they cover about 1% of passengers from VDL to Port Phillip. Search the PROV archives@victoria collection (not the Immigration Index for British & Overseas ports) for shipping arrivals from VDL. Sorry - it's a long hard slog and you may still never find them arriving in Vic. Try arrivals from overseas to Tasmania - Tas Archives or large genie libraries who may have Tas shipping. Regards .....
