Hi everyone, I'm tracing my husband's Great, Great-Grandfather: 'HENRY PARKES' - Convict: Henry PARKES was born in 1820 in Lancashire, ENG and died in 1895 Wellington NSW. Prisoner Number 39/114 Henry came out to Sydney on the THERESA in 1839 Ticket of leave (no: 44/1844) 14th November 1844 He was allowed to remain in the district of Muswellbrook. Certificate of Freedom given on 17th of May 1845 Henry married Mary Chapple (CHAPPEL etc) on 4 Nov 1867 Bathurst NSW. Mary was born in 1830 in Halston, Cornwall, England and died 18 Jun 1919 Balmain NSW. They had quite a large family between 1857 and 1875 born in Bathurst area: John Murphy Parkes (Chappel) James Parkes (Chappel) Thomas Parkes (Chapel) William Henry Parkes (Chapel) Agnes Mary Parkes (Chapel) Nancy Parkes (Chapel) Anne Parkes Elizabeth Parkes Henry Parkes Richard Chappell Parkes As you can see we have quite a bit of information relating to his marriage, children etc. My reason for this e-mail is to see if anyone can shed some light on where I should look to find out ANY information relating to HENRY'S movements while he was 'ALLOWED TO REMAIN IN MUSWELLBROOK'. Thank you for any help you may be able to give or any information you may be able to pass on to us. Kind Regards Jann and Larry Parkes
