Elizabeth had a Ticket of Leave but had it cancelled in in February 1829 for drunkenness. Notice of this was published in the Sydney Gazette on the 7th February 1829 'Lord Wellington Elizabeth Mitchell for drunkenness, Ticket of Leave cancelled.'Elizabeth died in 1830 as Elizabeth Jelley and the death indexes show her age at death as 49 which pretty much agrees with her age in the 1828 census. depending what time of the year these events happened. Sources England Criminal registers, 1825 Muster, 1828 Census Sydney Gazette

I think that I may have inadvertently put that Elizabeth Mitchell was born about 1881/1882. That should have read 1781/82. Information from 1828 census and death record.
