New Zealand Completed Requests / Re: "Parkhurst Boys" transported to NZ 1842/43

Hi BAC3
Well this is my 3rd post, so I should now have access to PM and I'll contact you, however it might be difficult to id William Tuck in Norwich pre his arrest. He was presented in court without reference to his parents, and we rather assumed he was orphaned/abandoned. I will have a go.
Many thanks

Thanks Mare,
b 1828 is not that far off for the records I do have - would make him 11 not 8 when convicted, but it's listed as 'around' and I should think he was keen to seem as young as possible! I will follow up.

Hello,
I'm a newby here, and I know this thread has been quiet for a while, but I'm working on an education pack featuring a Parkhurst boy and I wondered if anyone had any material on him?
He is William Tuck, convicted at Norwich in 1839 aged around 8 and transported on the St George in 1842.
Anything about his subsequent life much appreciated.
