TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES: There is no exact match for this name on the convict list for the Minstrel. The name could be an alias/married name, as she continued to use it in the colony and was repeatedly admitted to gaol and the Factory under this moniker. On this occasion, this convict and two others admitted to the gaol on the same day are connected with a brace, potentially indicating the three women committed a crime together and were sentenced together, but that is not a given. Further research required.
