Convict Notes
In the 1800 muster roll Alice is living with James Partridge (unsure which one).However he returned to England the following year without her. In the 1806 muster roll for Parramatta, Alice is now living with Neil McCloud (Admiral Barrington).There are no children. In the 1814 muster roll, Alice is described as Neil's wife. Unfortunately,there appears to be no record of their marriage. He was living in the Windsor district, but she was in the Liverpool area. Did they have 2 farms? Alice died in January 1819. She is buried as Alice McLeod in St Phillip's Cemetery in Sydney.
Alice was charged with stealing a silver cream jug & 11 silver spoons on 24/09/1787 from Mrs Clutson's house at 11 Denmark Street, Bristol. However, she saved herself from prosecution by turning states evidence & implicating her accomplices - Elizabeth Seine, Ann Harper & Margaret williams (all onboard the Lady Juliana!). However, Ann was tried & found guilty of receiving bed tick stolen from a shop in Bristol by James Seine (Elizabeth's brother!) the followiwng June. She was sentenced to 14 years transportation. She embarked on the Lady Juliana (together with her mother, sister & fellow accomplices) bound for Port Jackson, NSW. She was subsequently transperred to Norfolk Island, where she cohabited with George Egglestone, a 1st Fleet convict from the Alexander. They had a small farm at Sydney Town, NI. George joined the NSW Corps on 12/07/1794 & later that month, they left Norfolk Island on board the Francis, to return to Port Jackson, NSW. However, George returned to Norfolk Island on board HMS Supply in October 1795 without Alice.
