When she arrived in Sydney, she was assigned as a nursemaid to Major Francis. The life for convicts after coming to Australia was hard by living under very strict rules. She gradually retired from active business and lived on her investments. Mary Reibey was persevering and enterprising in everything she undertook, becoming legendary in the colony as the successful businesswoman. She took an interest in the church, education and works of charity.
A mini series called "Sarah Dane" was based on the best-selling 1954 novel of the same name by Catherine Gaskin. Gaskin had spent two years researching the book, which was inspired by the true story of Mary Reibey, a woman convict who married an officer while travelling to Australia, went on to become a successful businesswoman in her own right, and whose image has been featured since 1994 on the Australian $20 note.[3] The novel was Gaskin's most successful, selling over two million copies.[4] Film rights were sold and Gaskin announced in 1955 that a movie version would be made at Elstree Studios the following year, but this did not occur.[5]" Taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sara_Dane A bit "romantic" but well worth a look.
Mary HAYDOCK was convicted at Stafford, England on 24 July 1790 for horse stealing. She was only 13 yrs old and dressed as a boy and used the alias name "James Burrows". Apparently it was noticed, after the court case, she was female. She received a 7yr transportation sentence and travelled to New South Wales, Australia per the "Royal Admiral" arriving 1791. She was first assigned to Lt. Grose as a nurserymaid. At the time of her conviction, her parents were stated to be deceased and she lived with her grandmother. Born Bury, Lancashire, England. Protestant. 7 Sept 1794 Mary married (Sydney) Thomas REIBEY, an Irishman in the service of the East India Co. They lived in the Hawkesbury district of NSW. There is much written about this family and their descendants as they rose to prominence in the Australian society. In 1820, Mary returned to England but came back to Australia the following year and was listed as arriving as a "free" person. Mary had seven children. Mary Reibey as on the Australian $20 note is this very same person.
Name was Haydock (not Haddock as presented in this document). She was convicted under the name of James Burrow. Married Thomas Reibey (7 September 1794)became a very wealthy and influential member of the colony.
