"Parkhurst Boys" transported to NZ 1842/43

[BAC3]

Hello Annie,

Thanks for the website address.

I took some of the links from that website and added them to my "Favourites" a little while ago......it is a mine of information, although quite a lot deals with pre-1838.
The first "Parkhurst Boys" did not reach Tasmania until 25/12/1845 on the "Stratheden".

Take care

Tony

Hello Annie,

Another "Senior Moment" that I have to own up to.....in my last missive I mentioned the "Stratheden" as being the first convict ship carrying "Parkhurst Boys" to VDL. 

Wrong!!

It was the "Mandarin" on 16/10/1843  that landed 51 of them.

Did our young man get married TWICE ? or did he just apply to marry twice ?

Good Evening Annie,

According to that website "Marriage Permission" there were two requests.....the first one to Sarah Ann Leland probably fell through (there was no RGD Reference to recognise the marriage) and he then married Robina Dick.

This marriage is also confirmed by the Digger - Tasmanian Pioneer Index 1803 - 1899 under RGD Reference 37/12.

He led a complicated life did our Mr Isherwood!!

Hello Annie,

My Biography for William Isherwood was fairly complete up to the point he married Robina and Fanny was born....I always check Archives Tasmania for "Marriage Permission" as it is the one research area that can possibly give me a reference point after arrival in Tasmania.

It was the comment "Must pay cost of passage" on his Conduct Record that made me think there could be some of his life history to be followed up in England.

My apologies if everyone got sidetracked "down under".

Hello Tony,
I dont know if you've seen this site.
www.pearlspad.net.nz/ParkhurstBoys.htm
Theres a piece on it about the Boys from Parkhurst Prison. Isle of White, with a note of grateful thanks to Janet Martin. Maybe this woman will be able to shed a bit more light on what became of these boys.
Best wishes,
Tracy.

Hello Tracy,

Thank you for the reference to the "Pearlspad" website.

I came across this website a little while ago and in fact downloaded all the details for my NZ "Master File" as a cross-check and, at the same time, sent an enquiry to Janet Martin.   Sadly she never responded.

I am grateful for your help and anything relating to the "Parkhurst Boys" and NZ that you come across, no matter how small or insignificant, do please let me know.

My regards

Tony
