Convict Notes
The women were almost invariably more or less ironed, sometimes cruelly so. There is in existence a list of the names of women, received in irons, on board the Brothers, which sailed in 1823; it was taken down at the time, by direction of Mrs. Fry, in order that a represention might be made upon the subject to the Government. By this list, it appears that twelve arrived on board handcuffed. Eleven women from Lancaster were sent to the ship 'iron-hooped round their legs and arms, and chained to each other. The complaints of these women were very mournful, they were not allowed to get up or down from the coach without the whole being dragged together; some of them had children to carry, they received no help, or alleviation to their suffering. The women from Lancaster included Mary Ann the wife of James Anderson, Mary McCawley, Ann Mullen, Mary Partridge the younger and Ellen Partridge. https://www.jenwilletts.com/convict_ship_brothers_1824.htm
