Hello TokoroaWilsons,

I'm rather disappointed that you have not responded either to this thread or my Personal Message confirming a contact email address.

I am keen to continue the conversation particularly against the background of my general difficulties unearthing details of the 123 Parkhurst Boys transported to NZ.

For the moment,

BAC3

Hi BAC3,

TokoroaWilsons needs to have two more posts, before he can receive PM's ... even if he replies with a couple of smiley faces or just Hello.


Cheers

Thank You KHP,

I had forgotten the "3 post rule" for PM's.

My sadness is the non-response of TokoroaWilsons, especially as unearthing the NZ "Parkhurst Boys" is difficult.   I presume there is nothing else I can do, except probably write the contact off to experience.

Les tribulations de la genealogie.........

Take care,

BAC3

Kia ora everyone,

I am new to rootschat and this is my first post - I am trying to find my great, great great grandfather Benjamin Thomas Hurst/Herse/Hearse/Hearst/Hirst. His name on his death certificate is Benjmain Herse and he died in 1906 in Halcombe New Zealand at age 87 approx, and listed on his death certificate is a birth place of Ireland but no county -  his spouse's name is correct on the death certificate so I know its the right person. We have a record to show he was a private with the 65th Regiment from 1845-1850.
The family story we've been told is he stole a loaf of bread and was apparently sent to VDL and I'm wondering if he was one of the Parkhurst Boys - his birth we estimate is around 1815-1818. He may have also have been under Thomas Benjamin Hurst and another family member has said he may have had a brother called James or his father may have been called James. I know this isn't a lot to go on but it is all that we have.   
Any  nfomration would be greatly appreciated thankyou, Eunice.

Welcome to RootsChat Eunice, Tony/BAC3 should be alerted to your post in due course, as I have been as a contributor to this thread, his profile tells me he was last on the site at the end of last month.

All the best with following up on your gggf ...  mare
