Geoff:
Depends on your interpretation of "official" although  personally I think the 
answer is "no".

The Lexicon gives a list of those known to have taken part but there are 
only about 50 wizarding folk actually named although adding in one or two 
other groups raises the total slightly. But only a handful of the victims - 
whom you mention - are named.

My feeling is that a full list has not been compiled. JKR of course can pass 
over because we concentrate only on the high profile people in the same 
way that, as an example,  we do not have a full list of Gryffindor students.

Maybe, further revelations from the "oracle" may surface in Pottermore....
