Convict Notes
ADM 101/45/1 1819-1820 Diary for the Lord Wellington female convict ship sailing from England to New South Wales, covering 27 April 1819 to 27 January 1820, by Edward Foord Bromley, MD, Surgeon, Royal Navy and Superintendent of Convicts. (Described at item level) Folio 3: Mary Blackmore; Mary Smith; Maria Jones; Rachel Richards; Elizabeth Bamford; Margaret Hennessy. All these women were dreadfully scalded on the 28th May 1819 (when the ship was in the Queens Channel) by the coppers capsizing in a sudden squall. The [Ag Calais?] was applied to the scalded parts and kept wet. Their bowels were kept open with saline purgatives and when such inflammatory action took place they were bled and kept on low diet several of them got well in the course of a month but Maria Jones who was by far the worst was not cured for three months. The remainder of the women were discharged in July [1819].
