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
