Convict "Exiles" to Port Phillip

[BAC3]

Thank you for the thoughts,

I had looked at the death records for all Australia (except Victoria) but there were no real connections other than possibly for TREVILLIAN in NSW, although the parents did not match.  Incidentally, PROV BDM Records are not exactly user-friendly and I refuse to countenance their demands for upfront payments just to view possibilities.    I say this because there were some 500 odd Parkhurst Prison "Exiles" sent to Port Phillip and can you imagine the outlay necessary in PROV search outlays!!!

DIDLOCK was a good idea, but the trace did not lead to anything conclusive sadly.    I think these 2 out of 500 can be quietly forgotten in the "Pending Tray"!!!!

Take care,

Tony

Tony you don't need to use the VIC BDM online search & pay to view.

Several of us here on RC have the VIC BDM indexes (and several others) which are far more searchable than the online system.

Should you ever need look ups just place your requests here & one of us will see them

Thank you Merlin,

The Digger Victoria Pioneer Index 1836-1888 CD-ROM I have has stood me in good stead but, unfortunately, it now malfunctions causing me to have to reboot, so I have lost a good facility.

The look up invitation is too good to refuse.   As long as no-one minds frequent requests to research odd names, such as DUDLICK and TREVILLIAN.    My research on Parkhurst Prison 1838-1864 covers 4,000 names but Victoria and the 500 ex-Parkhurst Prison "Exiles" transported to Port Phillip has always proved the most difficult to retrieve information and where I have asked for help.  TROVE and the way it has recently expanded is proving a godsend however.   By the way, with some of these 500 I have family histories recorded by Parkhurst Prison which will be of interest to descendants.

For the moment,

Tony

Worth remebering when searching that the record gives as following:
Dudlick        Henry              10y   17   Sandwich      04 04 144   stealing     aka [DUDLECK]; refer - 'HO 11/15 p216'

   Henry Dudlick was the only lad from the Sandwich Sessions that I have seen on the "Exiles" indexes at the NSW SRO.  I presume that is Sandwich, Kent 

17 years of age and sentenced to ten years and sent half way around the globe.  Aghhhh.... harsh punishment

PM, JM  had not noticed DUDLECK, but JM will look further now that PM has alerted JM  .   


Cheers, JM
