Possible Future Projects
- Parkhurst Boys were transported to the Colonies - 6 of those ship came to Victoria[1]. All ships have categories on Wikitree. Parkhurst Prison was in the Isle of Wight and was for juvenile prisoners 12-18.
- Dispatch from London requesting Victoria take Parkhurst boys[2]
In conjunction with the Tasmania team leader, we are attempting to get a list of the boys on each ship as they were transported amongst convicts on the ships to the colonies. Request sent to SLWA 6Mar24

So, I'm not sure if we have a current page of profiles that the Victoria Project is hoping to have completed. I know we have the Eureka Stockaid category somewhere. May I suggest that it would be great if we had a category for the Sorrento (Sullivan Bay) Settlement, with profiles for those who were part of that settlement. Also a category for the first arrivals in Melbourne, with the two groups who arrived in Melbourne, and the group who settled in Geelong. I think it would also be significant to have a category for those involved in the creation of Victoria becoming an independent settlement, before gold was announced as being found, around 1851, and those involved in finding the first gold, and keeping the fact hidden from New South Wales, until after we became a state. Also the bushrangers who became famous during this time. The Eureka Stockaid, as I said, is thankfully already covered, but we could also consider the settlement in Portland, and Sale, and those involved in establishing the Victorian Railways, and the Victorian's who represented our state at Federation. I'm hoping that we could aim to have a profile for ever person listed in Victoria BDM before statehood in 1851. After that point, the explosion in population makes it much more difficult to cover every person in Victoria. Would it be an appropriate aim, for the Victoria project to present this as a challenge that the team would like to see completed, with some stickers for these categories too. Incidently, the list of Ship Arrivals has been a great achievement by the team, not to mention how well the cemetery category is going. I'm not in the google group, but it would be great if we could have some discussion, and aims put in place to represent some of this great Victorian history.
