Convict Notes
Betty (Elizabeth) had stolen a Leicester bank note to the value of £10 from the person of James Twist at Manchester. She was the wife of James Kenworthy. Betty was originally meant to be on the Sydney Cove but Sarah Worrall took her place instead. She had already served more than three years of her sentence by the time she arrived. Betty received an absolute pardon in March 1810. This was her second absolute pardon, having received one in December the previous year but this was declared 'illegal' and Lieutenant Villiers of the 102nd Regiment applied to the governor to have a new one made out on her behalf. She had married a soldier of the 102nd Regiment and in April 1810 advised in the newspapers she was about to leave the colony. By 1816 was recorded having left the colony.
