Forced Labour for the West
Andrew Gill, in his book Forced Labour for the West: Parkhurst convicts ‘apprenticed' in Western Australia 1842 - 1851, has listed all the Parkhurst boys who arrived in WA before the ‘official' convicts. Andrew has kindly allowed the WAGS Convict Group to place the details of each of these convicts from his book on our website.
Andrew Gill's books on the Parkhurst apprentices have much more information on the system and most libraries have copies. They are available from Andrew; he can be contacted by email:
