Convict Notes
Jane Drudge, 14 yrs, single, convicted of two charged of felony. She was never before convicted. Prison Registers and Statistical Returns - pg 167 1843-1850 HO 24/12
Believe she had more than 2 daughters but am still researching. I am descended from her eldest daughter, Sophia fanny Maddams , who married Arthur John McLeod in 1881.
Tried at Newport Assizes, Isle of Wight in 1847. Held until 1848 when she was transported to Van Deimans Island (Devils Island) now Tasmania, Nr Australia. Survived the journey and spent 7 years as a convict at the penal colony. Met and married, fellow convict, Thomas Maddams. Lost one child age 8 months, and went on to have two further daughters, who I am trying to trace. April 2012.
