Richard Alley, Free Settler "Lady Juliana" 1790

The ship's surgeon on the Lady Julianan, Richard Alley. He fathered a child by Ann Marsh, baptised Charlotte Maria Alley on June 5, 1791, some twelve months after the Juliana's arrival in Sydney Harbour, on June 3, 1790, (one day short of twelve months after leaving the Thames). Charlotte only lived a few days after her baptism, and Ann had to mourn her death alone, as Richard Alley had sailed to England in March, 1791. He returned to the colony in October, 1792, on the East India Company ship Royal Admiral, in the dual role of Naval Agent and Ship's Surgeon, but there is no record of his resuming his earlier role of Ann's partner and protector.
