Have just found this reference to the Vibilia and its passengers,
Extract from Margaret Mickle's MemoirsMargaret Mickle (nee Lyall) was the daughter of John Lyall, who emigrated alone from Scotland to Van Diemens Land (Tasmania) in 1833 on the Vibilia. He was joined by his wife and 5 of their children in 1836. His daughter, Margaret was 5 years of age at that time. She wrote her memoirs in 1892 relating to life in that colony in the 1830's and '40's. Also, obviously from, conversations with her parents, she wrote about the family's life in Scotland. Her memoirs can be viewed on the site:

Steerage passengers were : David Best, wife and 2 children, George Best, wife and 4 children, Henry Jenkins and wife, George Shelverton and wife, Richard Ockesley and wife, Mr. Grant and wife, Mr. Wilmot, wife and 3 children, Mr. Thompson, wife and 3 children, John Lyall, George Gregg and wife, John Martin, (-?-) Best, Mr. Clarke,
Mr. Boot, wife and sister, Mr. Williams, Mr. Harriatt, Mr. Baneanhan (?), wife and 3 children, Mr. Chamber, Mr. I. Cole, Mrs. Jolley, William Shelverton and son. Richard Evans was a cabin passenger.
Not sure how correct this information is but it could mean that this is not our Boot family. I think I will have to get the passenger list to see if there is any more identifying information mentioned.
