TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES: This is the same convict who was admitted to Sydney Gaol and thence to the Parramatta Female Factory less than a week earlier, on 20 November 1820. Her identity is unclear because there was no Elizabeth with that surname per Canada, but three others with the same/similar surname: ANN KENNA, JULIANA KENNA and ANN McKENNA. The same convict must have escaped the Factory again because she reappears in the Sydney Gaol admissions records for a third time on 2 December 1820, but without any further details to indicate whether she was returned to the Factory. Further research required.
