Good morning, looking for information on Edwin(Edward) PICKEN, a convict on the Agincourt in 1844. Other than some conjecture, this is all I have at the mo. I don't even know why he was sent out. rgds Phil Butler..... sunny qld.....

Dear Tony, All of those names you sent arrived VDL 28/5/1851 on the Lady Kennaway (2). There was nothing on the convict records to indicate that they went on to NI but I will have a look at the Archives tomorrow to see if I can find anything on them.

Greetings All, Would there be a Lister who may have any connections with either DOLLY(her name maybe Dorothy) or AILEEN(her daughter) GIFFORD or GIFFARD. They were in some way related to my nan,Ellen Talbot(nee Carroll).Ellen(although born in Sydney) was the daughter of ANASTASIA MARSH who was born here in Hobart. Ellen was born in 1878 and I presume DOLLY was about the same age. Her daughter AILEEN may have been born early 1900s. This is part of the jigsaw of my family history research. Thanks & Cheers Ellen

Hello Peter I have an interest in finding information on THOMAS McCUSKER who arrived as a convict on this ship.

Hello Irene, Thank you for offering to help solve the mystery of these 14 ex-Parkhurst juveniles being transported direct to Norfolk Island......they are, with respective sentences: Joseph ATKINSON 7 years: James AUSTIN 7 years: Thomas CAIRNS (aka CAVINS) 10 years: James COLLINS 7 years: William DOBSON 7 years: Edward DOWNARD 7 years: Michael HORRIGAN 7 years: Owen McMAHON 7 years: John ROBINSON 7 years: Henry SIMS 7 years: William STEEL (aka STEELE) William STEPHENSON 7years: John TURNER 7 years: Charles WOGAN (aka WHODGAN) 7 years If you need any further personal details for identification do please let me know and once again my thanks.

Hello George, Western Australia received the first batch of 18 "Parkhurst Boys" per the "Simon Taylor" on 20/08/1842.....they were termed "Apprentices" and were required to enter into Indentureships for the balance of their sentences under the overall control of the Guardian of Government Juvenile Immigrants. The last batch of 53 "Apprentices" disembarked from the "Mary" on 24/10/1849 .....giving a total 234 "Apprentices" transported during that 7year period. This "Apprentice" Scheme was finally wound-up in 1851. From there onwards ex-Parkhurst juveniles transported to WA were treated exactly as their adult counterparts being subject to the authority of the Comptroller General of Convicts. The last ex-Parkhurst juvenile, Henry Green, arrived in WA aboard the "Lincelles" on 28/09/1861. Regards Tony Cocks

Hello Suzy St Joseph's Catholic Church in Launceston later changed its name to the Church of the Apostles. There are marriage registers for the church held at the Archives Office of Tasmania for 1835-1895 (with some gaps). The film you want is NS 1052/22. What sort of 'more information' are you looking for? There is a permission to marry record for them, also held at the AOT - CON 52/2 p123. This gives Mary's ship as 'Emma Eugenia' and John's ship as 'Blenheim'.

Dear Tony, I found your enquiry interesting I mainly deal with the earlier period 1788-1814 but I have read quite a bit about the latter penal settlements. I would have thought 1851 was getting rather late they brought most of the convicts off in the late 1840s and why they would sent the Parkhurst boys there is a mystery. If you could give me their names they might be on cards in the general index at the Archives I have found mention of the latter ones that way. Convicts were usually only sent to Norfolk Island after they committed other crimes here. I haven't placed this on the list as I am not really sure of the cut off date for NI.

Tony, Irene, correct me if I'm wrong here, but I seem to think dome of the Parkhurst boys were sent to Western Australia in the 1840s. Could I be thinking of a different scheme?

Hello Alice Unfortunately, I have no connection to your Samuel Adams - maybe someone else on the list does. I can help you, though, regarding the location of most of the records. The marriage & birth records are available on the RGD films of births, deaths & marriages for Tasmania - these are held at many libraries and genealogical societies - see http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/guides&Info/guide024.htm for a list. The Gloucester Record Office information from the 1822 Assizes, I am not sure, but could be held on the AJCP films which are available in most state libraries. The surgeon's journal for the 'Prince of Orange' (what you have listed as the convict transportation register microfilm PRO 85) is also on the AJCP films. (see http://www.nla.gov.au/collect/ajcp.html for more information on the AJCP project). The CON 31, CON 23 and CSO1/403/9099 records are held by the Archives Office of Tasmania. You can access them through the AOT - see http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/guides&Info/guide013.htm and http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/referenceserv/general.htm. I hope this helps.

I am looking for information on a John GRIFFITHS who was tried at the Old Bailey 29 May 1828, aged 18, sentence 7 years.

Good Morning to the List, Just writing to ask if any one has my GG Grandfather Samuel ADAMS Born c.1802, in Melksham, Wiltshire, England in their tree/trees Marriage solemnised in the Parish of Longford, Tasmania, in the year 1833, County of Cornwall (No. 2349). Samuel Adams, bachelor, of the Parish of Campbell Town and Mary Ann Miller, spinster, of the Parish of Campbell Town, married in this church by banns on 14 January, 1833, They were married in St Johns Church, Launceston. Children - Elizabeth - born 26 Dec. 1835 William - George - b. 17 August, 1837 Emma - b. 21 April 1839 Charles Samuel - b. 18 April 1841 James, - b. 19 January, 1846 Hannah - b. 9 June, 1848 Thomas From Gloucester Record Office. Assizes 1822 (Holding records, prior to court appearance) Samuel Adams When brought in - 28 Sept 1821 Number - 22 Age - 19 Parish - Melksham By Whom Committed - Henry Burgh, Esq. Samuel Adams. "Prince of Orange" Date of departure- 1 April 1822 Arrival - 23 July 1822 Record Book - Con 31 Description list - Con 23 Muster Roll CS01/403/9099 Other Records - 13/2 p.323 Convict Transportation Register p.138 Samuel Adams, Gloucester Assizes, quarter session 16 October, 1821. Sentenced to 7 years (microfilm PRO 85, Sydney Library) didn't appear in surgeon's journal for "Prince of Orange" so must have kept good health on the trip to Australia. I would be very interested to know what all of these RECORDS are and where they are kept?? or where that I can get his records from. I was sent this by my cousin in New Zealand who has been most helpful as we did not know about thsi family at all until the end of May this year. I did have a lady help me once before getting records but cannot remember her name and she has not put her name on the envelopes that I got off her for some others. If any one can help me I would be very grateful. Cheers for now Alice in Qld,Aust

Hello Maree, Thank you for the comparison of convict ships between 1850-1852, the most interesting of which is possibly the "Lady Kennaway" (1851). There were 47 ex-Parkhurst juvenile convicts on board, 33 of whom disembarked at Hobart on 28/05/1851. The remaining 14 were sent on to Norfolk Island. The Parkhurst Prsion Register (National Archives UK HO 24/15) confirms this destination in each case, but specifies no reasons for the decision by the Prison Governor that I am presently aware of through my research......certainly they appeared no more "incorrigible" than the other 33 which could have possibly warranted the harsher regime of Norfolk Island. The foremost question is why these 14, and only these 14, should have been treated so differently in terms of the total 1,500 transported direct from Parkhurst Prison. I did write to a local historian on Norfolk Island 6 months ago but, sadly, he never replied. Should you happen to come across any snippet of information as to the reasons in your research of the Enrolled/Military/Chelsea Pensioners please keep me in mind. Regards Tony

Dear lists, I would just like to pass on a message I received from the Reference Librarian at the Devonport Library. The Tasmanian Convicts Records on microfilm together with the cdrom index, are now available at the Devonport Library. They don't have the complete series of films, but have a similar range to that held at the Burnie Library. regards, Meryl Yost, Launceston, Tasmania ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Administrator: AUS-Tasmania mailing list http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/home/maillist.htm E-mail: meryl@tasfamily.net.au AUS-Tasmania Genealogy pages http://www.rootsweb.com/~austashs/
