GEDCOM Note
Information obtained from Archives Office of Tasmania http://www.archives.tas.gov.au/ Edward Garth believed born in England about 1768 and died at Hobart, Tasmania, Australia 1823, wed Suzannah (other details unknown) believed born 1763 in England and died at Hobart 1841. They appear to be First Fleet convicts, and included in the special group sent to pioneer Norfolk Island as a food supply for the Sydney settlement.
Susannah Garth (Grant) (aged 24 in 1787) and Elizabeth Dudgens (aged 23 in 1787) were together tried in the Old Bailey Weds 10 Sept 1873 for stealing, sentenced to 7 years transportation.
Sydney Cove 1788 On Weds 30 January Mr Jameson's choices of 8 convict men and 6 women were selected, and given permission to marry if affection arose. Anne Yates declined her offer and Susan Gough replaced her. On Thurs 14 Feb (Page 75) The personell accompanying Lieutenant King to colonise Norfolk Island were Mr Jamison, Surgeon's First Mate of the Sirius, Mr James Cunningham Master's Mate of the Sirius, Mr T Turnpenny Altree Assistant to the Surgeon, two seamen, Roger Morley a weaver and William Westbrook a sawyer, two marines from the Sirius, Charles Kerridge and John Batchelor, six female convicts, Elizabeth Lee, Elizabeth Colley, Olivia Gascoin, Ann Inett, Susan Gough; and nine male convicts including Charles McClellan, Richard Widdicombe, Edward Garth, Edward Westlake, John Mortimer, Noah Mortimer and Nathaniel Lucas. They took stores for 6 months, "some sheep, hogs and poultry, seeds and plants, with tools and implements for clearing and cultivating the ground" On 19 March the Supply returned to Sydney and reported" It was with great difficulty and hazard they landed the provisions and stores, the shore being extremely rocky and the surf beating very high". On 17 July the Supply was sent to Norfolk Island with 6 months provisions, and returned on 26 Aug to report the deaths of Mr Cunningham and three others lost in a boat that was swamped by the surf. 3. Blackburn's Isle, by Derek Neville, records the Supply sailed on 17 Feb 1788 with 21 male convicts, 6 female convicts and 3 children including a boy (3) and a girl (4). I can find no trace of these children in my reference books.
