New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: "Parkhurst Boys" transported to NZ 1842/43
« on: Tuesday 08 December 09 22:09 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Tony - yes it was the 1841 Census for Parkhurst prison.  However, if he was tried at the Old Bailey, does that mean he lived in London, rather than Isle of Sheppey, Kent?  What info would you need to prove/disprove the link?  My Edward Carter had parents William and Elizabeth - and sister Susannah - all born/living in Sheerness, Sheppey, Kent

Thanks for the swift reply,
Jan

Hi Tony,
I've just found your ongoing chat re parkhurst boys - and wonder if my GGGG Uncle, Edward Carter, is the same person as on the Parkhurst Boys list.  This seems to be the only entry in the 1841 census that ticks all the boxes.  And I cannot find him in 1851 at all, possibly because he is not in the country. Then he is in the Royal Navy in 1861 (Malta) before turning up in 1871 at his sisters house in Sheppey, Kent.
He was born in the Isle of Sheppey, Kent - abt 1828, so would have been 14 in 1842 which ties up with the Parkhurst Boys data.
Do you think this may be the same person?
