Hi, I am wondering if someone would be able to guide me to where i might find a complete passenger list for each of the following, as i have tried every shipslist site and everything else i can think of The Beejapore arrived in NSW february 1853. Lots of deaths and illness on this ship but have been unable to find passenger list. The P & O ship the Beltana to NSW in 1926. Any help would be much appreciated. Barb
