Hi Frances,

That would be good to check, thanks, and hopefully you still have them. I looked at them at the uni where I worked, before the days of my home computer access, so didn't save the file. I thought it was very useful (and still would be), because Vic charges for their bmd index CDs, and if I remember rightly they were mainly immigrants to Vic., although others were also included. It is quite difficult to identify immigrants from the IoM without looking at the actual full records which are held by each state, because it was usually the port of departure in England which was given in passenger arrival lists, so indexes are not usually sufficient.
