NSW convict Index. Sarah Whaley, per Speedy 1800, Ticket of Leave, No 11/232. Tried, Gwydon? Life.
Sarah had married a Benjamin Whaley on 1st January 1787 at Southwark, London, England. He did not follow Sarah to NSW.
Although Sarah and her two children were resident in the colony, I have been unable to locate them on the musters except for one soon after Sarah arrived in the colony: Baxter, Carol; Muster and Lists of New South Wales and Norfolk Island, 1800 - 1802: [Ref AC042] Whaley, Sarah, ticket 359, At Parramatta with S. Sandall. There is no mention of Sarah in 1828 although one daughter, Mary is now married
Very soon after her arrival in the colony, Sarah commenced a liaison with Samuel Sandall (Convict, Barwell, 1798). There probably was not a marriage as such. The couple had two daughters; Sarah 1802 and Mary 1804. Samuel died in 1805, leaving Sarah with the two little girls.
