Joshua Harwood was a "Parkhurst Boy" and was sent to Fremantle on the sailing ship "Simon Taylor" arriving 20th August 1842. You can see his name listed if you do a search on "passenger list Harwood Fremantle".He was aged 16 at the time making his birth date 1826. If you click on his name you will get a limited family tree ranging 1825 - 1953.
I have just started to trace his tree from then onwardsfor my mother-in-law who married Clifford Harwood. If you do a Google search on "Convict Charlie" you will his story written by Colleen Fancote. According to her writings he was "awarded his Ticket of Leave in 1858 under J J Harwood of Fremantle to work in the whale industry".
Hope this helps.
