Hi Tony and Cathy,

All very interesting. I suppose we can't dismiss the possibility of George marrying before as there is a big gap of not knowing.
Anyway I'm happy for Cathy to contact me.
By the way Tony, we had a lovely visit from Tony Browne and his fatherThey were on there way back to Gisborne from Tony's uncles (fathers brother, and can't remember the fathers name)  funeral in Auckland. Tony father is very defensive of his grandfather George's past.

Anyway I hope your well and the studies are nearly done. We are shifting to Australia at Xmas, so will be able to do more research on my husbands other criminal side...

Take care
Tina

Good Morning Tina,

I have sent Cathy your email address via a PM and hopefully she will contact you shortly.   Should anything emerge in your conversations about the 30 missing years do please let me know.

May I wish you all the best in your "migration" to Australia.   I thoroughly enjoyed the years I spent in Melbourne (and Hobart earlier) as a £10 Pom, although in those days having a convict as an ancestor may have limited the number of dinner invitations you received.  My eyes are now firmly fixed this coming weekend on NZ and the fate of my red dragon compatriots taking on the frogs!!!

Take care

Tony

Hi I am a descendant (still to confirm) of William Robert Woodgate, I see by reading through the blog that you finished his biography some years back. I would appreciate if you could send me any information.

Steve :)

Thank you for the message.

Yes, I am still very much searching for details of those Parkhurst Boys sent to NZ and look forward to any information you may have.

For the moment,

Dear Sir,
I am currently doing some research for an MFA at Otago Polytechnic and was interested in taking a look at the list of Parkhurst Boys that were sent to NZ if there was any chance you could send that to me? If you want any more information about me that would be fine of course. Anyway, if you are able to that would be a great help.
Many Thanks
KD Miles
