Convict Notes
Family connections for Elizabeth (Beer) are: BEER ??? (Beer) & ??? (???) produced perhaps 2children: 1.Ann (Beer/Beard) was born on 1 9 1782 & baptised in Denton Kent & became a house servant. She was tried for larceny at Kent Assizes on 15 3 1797, sentenced to 7years & arrived in NSW as a convict with her sister Elizabeth on 18 7 1798 after a voyage of 6months on BRITANNIA. She is recorded in 1806 with her first (1of4) relationship - John (Coker). She had a second (2of4) relationship with Edward (Ewing his first relationship). She was Free by Servitude by 1809. She was an emancipist when she married thirdly (3of4) John (O'Donnell/O'Donald) labourer on 26 3 1810 at St Phillips CofE Sydney. She is recorded in 1814 with her family. She had a fourth relationship with Thomas (Johnston). She is recorded in 1828 housekeeper for Thomas (Johnstone) with 1child at Portland Head. After her spouse died she lived with daughter Hannah. She died on 1 6 1875 age92 mother of 5known children. ..[Some details taken from this Website] 2.Elizabeth (Beer) was born about 1779 or on 28 6 1788. She was tried for larceny at Kent Assizes on 15 3 1797 (only this date potentially links her to the same crime as her sister) at Kent Assizes, sentenced to 7years & arrived in NSW as a convict with her sister Ann on 18 7 1798 after a voyage of 6months on BRITANNIA. She, as Elizabeth (Bear) is recorded as dying on on 16/18 1 1799 age20 & buried at St Phillips CofE Sydney. ..[Some details taken from this Website] Reference: Craig James Smee 'Births and Baptisms Marriages and Defacto Relationships Deaths and Burials New South Wales 1788-1830' ..a complete listing from church & other records in the early colony.
Elizabeth's death is recorded in the Old Sydney Burial Gound database as Elizabeth Bear. Elizabeth's sister Ann Beer/Beard had a number of children.
Elizabeth was convicted on 15th March, 1797 at Kent Assizes. The information I have seen suggests that the Brittania departed England, bound for New South Wales on 1st February, 1798.
