"Parkhurst Boys" transported to NZ 1842/43

[liverpool annie]

Hi Tony!

I know what you're saying!! -
I work in Mental Health and it's a similar thing - there is really nothing you can do to make them "better" and backgrounds etc. all make a difference - but the challenge comes one person at a time and if you can make a difference in one person's life - you've had some measure of success !

Have to remember that their educational level was probably not very high - they didn't have many interests to keep them occupied - hence the number of children born   

If we keep this posting alive - and not let it get too far down the page - we'll have a better chance of attracting others and maybe they will have the information you need!! I hope so!!

Have a great day!!

Annie

Hello Annie

Things are moving apace here.......completed about 80 Biographies in the past month thanks to a lady in Tasmania researching "Convict Records" etc. for me.

Hope everything fares well with you.

Incidentally, both Lyn and also Desma Howarth have my email addresses.

Take care

Tony

Hi Tony,
Sorry about the misunderstanding...It was really Annie that I was trying to get hold of to give her an update on Desma & my chats.  What I couldn't find was this post to reply...after nimerous attemps to get to the right place, I gave up &  sent her a personal message.
Thanks again for putting me in touch with Desma....she is a font of information.
Pleased to see that you may get your quota of biographies done in time...you seem to be flying through them!  Well done.
All the best with your research on the others.
Regards
Lyn

I was diappointed though when it finished. Very very interesting reading.

Hope everyone everywhere has a safe and contented Christmas

Hello Vanessa,

Delighted to read the posting on your ancestor, John WEBB.

I certainly have details of his life history up and until he left Western Australia and then returned to England.   He is actually the first case I have come across of any of the Parkhurst Boys "willingly re-emigrating" down under and, consequently, he is quite important to my research.   I am  quite anxious to exchange details with you.

Do please let me have your email address and I shall send you the part-Biography I have completed, to which you can whatever details you have.

I look forward to your response.

My best wishes for Christmas and the New Year.

Tony Cocks
