James White Humphrey (1832–1898) was a convict transported to Western Australia, and later became one of the colony's ex-convict school teachers.
Born in the United Kingdom in 1832, Humphrey worked as a clerk until convicted of forgery and sentenced to transportation.
Humphrey arrived in Western Australia on board the Stag in 1855, and received his ticket of leave two years later.
In 1863 Humphrey was appointed to a teaching post at Quindalup, and the following year he married Mary (Bertha) Tapping at Fremantle.
When his request for a salary increase was refused in 1868, he resigned as a teacher and spent the next five years working as a postmaster, bootmaker and agent at Quindalup.
