Phin family from Edinburgh

Thomas Phin that I am looking for married Elizabeth Falconer in Scotland.
They had a number of children in Edinburgh and went to Australia around 1840's or 1850's.They hada farm named Comley Bank in Victoria, Australia. Elizabeths brother (Mr unknown Falconer) may have travelled with them or around the same time.
I am interested in James Phin born Scotland c1842 whose father was a Thomas Phin, mother unknown.I think the above Phin Family may be his but I don't have a record of birth for him.
Unfortunately the shipping records in Australia are very incomplete and many are made up from incomplete newspaper passenger lists.
