WA Convicts Website Project

(https://waconvicts.fhwa.org.au)

Convicts from all ships have been loaded. The status of the project is explained in the "Change Log" option on the website menu.

We still have a lot to add to the website. The activities that we are working on include:-

  • correct any errors as we become aware of them and add in any extra information which we receive 
  • a big catch up on adding newspaper links which are ready to go
  • finish adding missing Millbank or Pentonville PCOM2 links where they are available (where we currently only have HO24 links) - done
  • add baptisms, census records & marriages for remaining convicts known to have descendants (where we have confidence in the data)
  • add ToodyayTOL images and Perth TOL 1386/1 images to convicts whom we know are being researched (done) - done
  • where we have confidence in the data, add previous transportation conviction details to convicts pages and links files 
  • add pages for the "Parkhurst Lads" - done
  • add Ancestry prison register links for convicts whom we know are being researched - done
  • add accomplice links - done
  • add family links - done
