FAS Convict Ship 366.18 Duchess of Northumberland arrived 1843 at VDL Prosopography Index

This collection provides a complete list of convict names and sufficient biographical data to enable unambiguous identification of convicts who were disembarked from convict ship "Duchess of Northumberland" at Van Diemen's Land on 1843-01-18

This includes, where known, an estimation of the year of birth, place of birth, where and when convicted, the sentence, the date of arrival in the colony and the convict's age on arrival. The brief convict biographical data provided in this collection serves as an index into the far more extensive set of life course events which are recorded in the prosopgraphy database built by the Founders and Survivors project.

Basic details for this ship:
* ship name (as known in VDL records): Duchess of Northumberland
* sailed date : 1842-10-02 from Sheerness
* arrival date : 1843-01-18
* population (per Bateson's The Convict Ships): Embarked:270 Men ; Deaths:3 Men ; Landed:267(VDL) Men

Data for convicts listed in this collection comes from the source which has been determined by Founders and Survivors to form the "base population" for this ship. Further information as to the methodology and the linkage of multiple sources is detailed in the narrative format of the collection. The matching and linkage of additional sources about Tasmanian convict's is the subject of ongoing research. This collection may be repuplished regularly, and in additional formats and with specific user interfaces, to enable public participation in the quality of convict matching and linkage -- see for example the EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm format for this collection.
Linkage for ships arriving at Norfolk Island and Port Philip is incomplete.

This ship's prosopography index is published in a directory named "366.18" (the ship's project id). Three three different file formats provided:
-- (default; suitable for web browsing) HTML: world wide web hypertext markup language format which provides a "narrative" view of the collection (index.htm); and
-- (structured prosopgraphy: persons and events) XML / TEIp5 : Text Encoding Initiative (version p5) XML format which provides the underlying XML database for this collection (index.xml); and
-- [Not yet available] (row/column flat) simple list of convict names in a flat file, tab delimited, suitable for Excel, Stata, SPSS or database usage (index.tab). See notes below.

本数据集收录了完整的囚犯姓名列表与详实的生平资料，可精准识别1843年1月18日在范迪门地（Van Diemen's Land）从“诺森伯兰公爵号（Duchess of Northumberland）”囚犯船登陆的所有囚犯。

收录内容包括已知的出生年份、出生地、定罪地点与时间、刑罚判决、抵达殖民地日期，以及囚犯登岸时的年龄。本数据集提供的精简囚犯生平资料，可作为索引，用于检索“创始人与幸存者计划（Founders and Survivors project）”所构建的人物志数据库中记录的大量更为详尽的人生轨迹事件。

本船基础信息如下：
* 范迪门地档案中记载的船名：诺森伯兰公爵号（Duchess of Northumberland）
* 启航日期：1842年10月2日，启航港为希尔内斯（Sheerness）
* 抵港日期：1843年1月18日
* 人员规模（据贝茨顿《囚犯船舰（The Convict Ships）》记载）：登船人数：270名男性；途中死亡人数：3名男性；最终在范迪门地登陆人数：267名男性

本数据集收录的囚犯数据，均取自“创始人与幸存者计划”认定的该船囚犯“基准人群”来源。数据集叙事文档中详细说明了多源数据整合的方法与关联逻辑。针对塔斯马尼亚囚犯的额外数据源匹配与关联工作仍在持续研究中。本数据集将定期以多种格式、配套专属用户界面重新发布，以吸纳公众参与囚犯匹配与关联工作的质量优化——例如可参阅本数据集的实验性关联网页（EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm）格式。目前针对抵达诺福克岛与菲利普港的船只的关联工作尚未完成。

本船的人物志索引以“366.18”（该船项目编号）为目录发布，提供三种不同格式的文件：
-- （默认格式，适用于网页浏览）超文本标记语言（HTML）：可呈现数据集的“叙事式”浏览视图（index.htm）；
-- （结构化人物志：人物与事件）XML/TEIp5：文本编码倡议第五版（Text Encoding Initiative p5，TEIp5）格式，为本数据集提供底层XML数据库支撑（index.xml）；
-- 【尚未上线】（行列扁平格式）纯文本制表符分隔列表：包含简易囚犯姓名列表，适用于Excel、Stata、SPSS或数据库导入使用（index.tab），详见下文注释。
