BAC3 has carried out a lot of research on the Parkhurst boys.

see https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=884524.msg7574951#msg7574951

As I noted in reply#1.  ;) Veronica says she messaged him, so hopefully obtained the information she required.

New South Wales, Australia, Hospital & Asylum Records, 1840-1913

Definitely written as "came by ship Acme in 1849"

However, there is a question mark after "Came to Australia in 1849 by ship "Acme" as a prisoner?" I agree with Jill that I don't think there was a ship "Acme".

Hard to know which ship and when it might be.
