Convict Notes
… Mary Ryan, Judith Deering, Mary Moyle, stealing money, transported for seven years. Carlow Sentinel, 26 Mar 1836.
ADM 101/62/5/11836 A nosological return of the sick and wounded of the convict ship Pyramus for 23 July to 29 December 1836 employed on a voyage to New South Wales. Folios 17-18: Mary Ryan, aged 27, Prisoner; disease or hurt, ulcus. Put on sick list, 20 August 1836, but of long standing. Sent to the hospital at Parramatta, 20 December 1836. Several large ulcers on her leg and ankle, the most ill conditioned ulcers the surgeon had seen, her general health was far from good. 'The great want of attention in these people to themselves rendered it a difficult matter to treat them with success'. The surgeon comments on the health benefits of keeping them on deck all day and the richer diet, which, he says 'has much influence on the glands, more particularly in promoting a natural salivation which when begun, is most difficult to subdue'.
