NO CONVICTS
TO New Zealand

PARKHURST PRISON - Isle of Wight
Parkhurst apprentices were juvenile prisoners from Parkhurst Prison, sentenced to "transportation beyond the seas", but pardoned on arrival at their destination on the conditions that they be "apprenticed" to local employers, and that they not return to England during the original term of their sentence. Between 1842 and 1849, Western Australia accepted 234 Parkhurst apprentices, all males aged between 10 and 21.

The Boys ( Convicts ) from Parkhurst Prison sent to NEW ZEALAND

Despite assurances from the British Government that NO CONVICTS were ever to be sent to the new fledgeling Colony of New Zealand, the unexpected arrival of two ships carrying young convict boys as immigrants from Parkhurst Prison in England in 1842 and 1843, caused quite a stir.
This article outlines the story of their arrival at Auckland, the problems they encountered and the public outcry that stopped them coming for ever
