Convict Notes
Amelia Coombes, convict 1043, was born on the Isle of Wight, Hampshire, England. I cannot find her maiden name so the complete date of birth is unknown. Amelia was convicted of stealing a shawl and some gingham fabric. When transported she was married and had one child. She subsequently was found in possession of a blanket that was not hers. She was at the New Norfolk Lunatic Asylum when her death was recorded. I am not related to Amelia, but contributed a convict bonnet in her name to the art installation Roses from the Heart by Christina Henri. This is a moving memorial to the 25,566 convict women transported from Britain and Ireland from 1788-1853.
