BAC3,
Sorry about that.  I assumed that because he was only 12 years of age he would have been treated as a boy prisoner and sent to Parkhurst before being sent to Australia.  I have found a site that has given me more information but couldn't open the link you gave.  Thank you for your help.

Thank you but Charles William Wright Taitt is not the one.  My Charles Tait left England on the Joseph Soames on 18th December, 1845 for Van Diemen's Land, arriving in1846, according to the convict records.  I know that he went to live in New Zealand in 1858 and lived there for the rest of his life.  I wondered if anyone had any details of his time in Australia or information about his family back in England.

Does anyone have any information regarding Charles Tait, a Parkhurst Boy who was sent to Australia on the Joseph Soames in 1846?  He was 12 years of age.
