Thanks again Ken.  Yes I do know about the shooting I have a copy of the article from the paper.  Some of the records on the internet on the Hembrows are not 100% unfortunately.  I have had contact with several people over the last few years and I have managed to have my records sorted out and verified with certificates etc.  There was one story about George Isaac Hembrow having gone to South Africa (I think) but according to the paper " he was found guilty of the shooting of David Munro at Monteagle and commuted to penal servitude for life" He died in 1978 at Forbes and his residence was shown as Forbes so I guess he was released at some stage.  He was 90 when he died.

Let me know if I can help you with any other information.

Hi Ken

Thank you very much for that information and especially being so quick to answer.  I have everything on Isaac Hembrow after 1867 ie marriage, children, death etc. and ongoing descendants.  What I am missing are the 20 years from when Isaac arrived on the Joseph Soames in 1847 to his marriage to Elizabeth Setter in 1867 - sorry I should have been more specific but I was so excited to have found people talking about the Joseph Soames and the history of some of the boys from Parkhurst prison that I just didn't put down the specific details.

Also I believe his father was Joseph Hembrow and mother Jane Stacey but that is all I know of them. 

Therefore if you or anyone has information on my missing 20 years or on his parents and siblings, I would be most grateful.

thank you again

I have just joined rootschat after "googling" parkhurst boys and enjoyed reading a lot of the posts on various people.
.
I have an ancestor that arrived on the Joseph Soames in Geelong on 10th Sept 1847.
his name is Isaac Hembrow and was 14 at the time.

Would anyone have any information on him after he arrived in Australia.  I know he married Elizabeth Setter in 1867 at Corowa New South Wales and they had 10 children.

thank you
