Elizabeth was a single woman of Manchester. She had stolen bank notes from William Schofield at Manchester. She married free convict John Wainwright (ship- Perseus) just after arrival in December 1811, aged 20 at St James' Sydney (recorded as Elizabeth Casher). She was recorded as the wife of John in the 1816 muster, single in 1818 and as a servant in 1819 and married, living at Liverpool in the 1820 and 21 muster. Elizabeth died, free, at Wilberforce, Windsor, in August 1822, aged 32.
