Biography

NOTES: April 1789 - Sent from Lincoln Gaol to london for embarkation on the 'Lady Juliana' transport. An administrative error lists her as being ordered on board the 'Neptune' Sent to Norfolk Island. The first record of her presence in the colony shows her being issued with a pig on Norfolk Island in February 1791. She is not listed in the Island's victualling books under the name of Mary Thompson. It is probable that she used an alias or alternative name that can no longer be traced to her.
