Hi MAJM,

I guess anything could be possible re Boaz as I believe a number of the Parkhurst Boys changed their name.  I will be following your suggestion through and thank you.

Regards

There seems to be a number of RICKARDS in the Gloucestershire area on census returns and on the members.iinet.com.au site I found:

Parkhurst Boys - Joseph Somes 1847
Rickards Boaz age 16 to serve 7 years 2 July 1844 for stealing fruit
aka (Richards, Boas), retrained as a cook
refer HO 11/15 p 182

So when researching I look for both RICKARDS and RICHARDS.

As yet I haven't come across him on any of the Electoral Rolls but will keep looking.  Many thanks

Hello,

I regret I'm new to rootschat and still trying to find my way around posting hence my delay in getting back to you.

The RICKARDS family belong to a friend in the UK so I am going on her information on the spelling but it does look like that on the 1841 census.  On a shipping record I found it was shown as both RICKARDS and RICHARDS.  Boaz was convicted with a Thomas CLEUDLEY who on the 1841 census seems to have lived a couple of doors up from him.

Thanks for the information and especially that regarding his father as I'm not sure if my friend is aware of it!  It also answers the question 'where was William when the 1851 census was taken?'.

Again, many thanks.
Kind Regards
Lorna

Hi,
I am doing some research on Boaz RICKARD aka RICHARD who was one of the Parkhurst boys aboard the Joseph Somes which arrived in 1847.  If anyone can supply any information on him once he landed in Geelong I would be very grateful. 
Kind regards
Lorna
