FAS Convict Ship 364.17 Gilbert Henderson arrived 1840 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 "Gilbert Henderson" at Van Diemen's Land on 1840-04-24

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): Gilbert Henderson
* sailed date : 1839-12-14 from London
* arrival date : 1840-04-24
* population (per Bateson's The Convict Ships): Embarked:185 Women ; Relanded:1; Deaths:1 Women ; Landed:183(VDL) Women

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 "364.17" (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流放犯姓名列表与详实的生平信息，可精准识别1840年4月24日在范迪门地（Van Diemen's Land）从流放船"吉尔伯特·亨德森号（Gilbert Henderson）"上岸的所有流放犯。

其中若有可查信息，将包含流放犯的出生年份估算值、出生地、定罪地点与时间、判决内容、抵达殖民地日期以及抵达时的年龄。本数据集所提供的精简流放犯生平信息，可作为索引，用于检索由"创始者与幸存者项目（Founders and Survivors）"构建的生平谱系数据库中收录的海量流放犯人生轨迹事件。

本船只的基础信息如下：
* （范迪门地记录中所用）船名：吉尔伯特·亨德森号（Gilbert Henderson）
* 起航日期：1839年12月14日，起航地：伦敦
* 抵达日期：1840年4月24日
* 船上人员统计（引自贝茨顿所著《流放船史》（The Convict Ships））：登船人数：185名女性；中途下船人数：1人；死亡人数：1名女性；最终在范迪门地上岸人数：183名女性

本数据集收录的流放犯数据，源自"创始者与幸存者项目"认定的本船只"基准人群"数据源。关于数据采集方法与多源数据关联的更多细节，已在本数据集的叙事式文档中详述。目前针对塔斯马尼亚流放犯的额外数据源匹配与关联工作仍在持续研究中。本数据集将定期以新增格式与专属用户界面重新发布，以便公众参与流放犯信息匹配与关联的质量校验——例如可参阅本数据集的实验性关联页面（EXPERIMENTAL linkage.htm）。

针对抵达诺福克岛与菲利普港的船只的关联工作尚未完善。

本船只的生平谱系索引以编号为"364.17"的目录发布（该编号为本船只的项目ID）。本数据集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）格式：万维网超文本标记语言格式，可为数据集提供"叙事式"浏览视图（对应文件为index.htm）；
-- （结构化生平谱系：人物与事件）XML / TEIp5格式：采用文本编码倡议（Text Encoding Initiative）p5版本的XML格式，为本数据集提供底层XML数据库（对应文件为index.xml）；
-- [暂未开放]（行列扁平化格式）纯文本列表格式：以制表符分隔的纯文本文件，包含流放犯姓名的简单列表，适用于Excel、Stata、SPSS或数据库导入使用（对应文件为index.tab）。详见下文说明。
