Summary The full text of this book includes the names of all government assisted passengers from either the County of Somerset or the city of Bristol who arrived at Port Phillip Bay before 1854. The research is based primarily on shipping lists held by the Victorian Public Record Office, though other sources have also been checked. These excerpts all contain highlighted references to Collingwood relatives or employers, presumably an exhaustive list. Passengers are listed by ship, with the shipping arrivals arranged chronologically. Details available for passengers usually include age, spouse and children, religion, occupation, and initial situation in the colony (employer, relatives etc)
