Convict Notes
Ellen Heath was listed as 23 years old on arrival. Native Place: Hampshire. Ellen could read, was 5'3½" tall, fresh ruddy complexion, black hair, dark hazel eyes, moles on left cheek. 5/9/1854: TOL 22/7/1856: CP.
Ellen Heath (nee Newland) was sentenced at the Lent Assizes at Winchester on 1st March 1849 to transportation, charged with the attempted murder of her husband Robert Heath 'with arsenic in a pudding.' Her record states: "I left him for 12 months; after returning to him he accused me of living with another man which led me to the offence for which I am now suffering." She travelled out with her baby daughter Mary Ann on board the St Vincent to Tasmania in 1850. The baby died soon after they arrived. Ellen married John Ryan (or Roynan) there in September 1851 and had seven more children. She died in 1908. In 1884, George Newland, son of James, emigrated to Tasmania on board the Indus, and his descendants now live in both Australia and New Zealand.
