Elizabeth had stolen a tea kettle and a pair of blankets at Manchester. She was part of a group of seven prisoners sent to Lancaster from Salford after the trials to await transportation there. Sadly I have no details about what happened to Elizabeth. Perhaps she was one of the two women who died onboard ship, or perhaps she was the soldier's 'wife' who died in May 1800 buried at the Old Sydney Burial Ground.
