  		Parkhurst Boys Parkhurst Boys 1842-1862 Although not officially classed as convicts, another group of convict boys called the Parkhurst Boys were sent to Western Australia, New Zealand, Tasmania, Victoria and even to Norfolk Island. They had been rehabilitated at Parkhurst Prison and were transported under a similar arrangement to the exiles who began to arrive a few years later. The aim was to apprentice them to local settlers. http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/convicts/park.html https://membership.wags.org.au/members-data/public-data/parkhurst-boys http://www.oakside.myzen.co.uk/bftext/parkhurstboysweb.htm Image: TheArtfulDodger-from-OliverTwist-by-TeaFoxKaris

  
  

• Notes

  Edmund Keane Byrne was only 9 years of age when sentenced to 7 years transportation for theft. He was one of the "Parkhurst Boys" who arrived on the "Orient" in 1848. After serving his time as an "apprentice" to Saul Spice he later married Amelia Jones, daughter of Richard & Mary Jones. In 1868 he & Amelia moved to North Bindoon where they established their farm. "Mount Pleasant", their new home was on what is now known as the Great Northern Highway. The Natives called the area Nungin Springs. All that remains here now are two fig trees and a pile of rubble on the left of the Highway and on the right is a Peach tree and two unidentified graves. The Highway goes right over the top of where the old home stood. Several miles past this the Highway rises on a hill known in the district as "Byrne Hill". Edmund worked hard on the farm but also carted goods by Bullock Team from Perth to the Berkshire Valley, Yatheroo, Walebing, Glentromie and other stations. On his return journey he would take loads of sandalwood to Perth for sale. For a year or two Edmund also ran a section of the Perth - Geraldton mail. This was done by pack horse from Bindoon to Coorow, changing horses at Berkshire Valley. All went well for the family until Edmund was struck down with sandy blight and started going blind. Luckily for Edmund and his family Walter Padbury stepped in with a helping hand. He gave Edmund free passage on his ship the Charlotte Padbury to England, arriving in London in April 1881. Not only did Walter supply free passage to and from England but he also paid Edmund's lodging and hospital expenses. Edmund was completely cured of his condition. Amelia worked hard, often having to take on jobs normally handled by Edmund due to his being away earning a living for the family. If Edmund was away the job of killing a pig or sheep for the family table had to be done by Amelia. Her normal household chores included baking the family bread, milking the cows and making butter. Amelia also had to make the families clothes which were all sewn by hand. When Edmund and Amelia's young family were growing up at "Mount Pleasant" all the family helped with the work. The plough was drawn by Bullocks and the land was thoroughly tilled. Their crop consisted of about twenty five acres and at the time of harvest they would have the help of the natives. The crop was cut by sickle and scythe and the corn was reaped by using a flail and later trod out by the horses. To winnow they had to wait for a windy day and the children would tip it out of dishes into a box with a sieve bottom. There was no school at first but later Edmund and Amelia along with the Glover, Thompson, Branson and other families of the district arranged for a Miss Groves of Guildford to come up as Governess. The children walked three miles each day for their lessons. When the older children of the family were old enough to take over some responsibilities running the farm Amelia was often called on to assist a neighbour during childbirth. She was an expert horsewoman and would ride miles at anytime of the day or night to help a neighbour in need. Although he had a very shaky start to life Edmund worked hard. He successfully raised a large family & was a good farmer & respected in the community. Not bad for a little urchin from the streets of London. Sharon McBride - 2005 - mcbridez-at-tpg.com.au
