Hi patsymac
Some years back, (as ya do), I spent an hour or so at Archives in Wellington," painstakingly" endeavouring to transcribe the list of persons who travelled per the "Indian Queen".
[ And somewhere I still have a copy of it, I think? ]
It is not though, an actual list documenting all passengers - but rather in the style of a promissory note for each male immigrant ( and notes the number of persons accompanying the "head of each family group".)
At the time I also scoured the local Wellington papers (which weren't online at that time) and the "best" information as to passenger names came by way of a testimonial to the ship's Captain (but that of course did not include all passenger names.) I also looked at the pass./lists held in Wellington Library's index card system (which I believe NZSG members may have compiled using the newspaper reports).
Anyway, having done all that (and being a bit slack in getting around to publishing the "Indian Queen" list) ... I discovered a few months later, that someone else had gone to Archives and prepared something similar.
I do believe you can find that information at the "family tree circles" website (of, I think, "ngaire edith" ... or similar). It should come up in a Google search.
