Convict Notes
Mary Creed was listed as being 27 years old on arrival - her native place was County Cork. Mary was 5'3" tall, black hair, grey eyes, single. 17/10/1836: Mary Creed died at the House of Correction, Hobart.
There is considerable detail about her in Surgeon Joseph Steret's report of the voyage on the Edward. She was sent on board from a prison in Horesmonger Lane having been confined to bed for nearly three years. She had a 'stormy temper'. He reports, "Her messmates on board were so anxious to get rid of her into the Hospital, as she is one of the most expert theives.. and a good planner of a robbery". The report is extensive and damning as to her character.
