Convict Notes
Elizabeth was the wife of Robert Whiteside and was from Preston. Her crime is unknown, though presumed to be theft. In October 1800, the order came to Lancaster Castle for the women awaiting transportation to be clothed and sent to Gravesend to board the ship. Between at least 1806 and 1816, Elizabeth was noted as a servant to William Henry Alcock; holding a ticket of leave by 1806 and free by 1807. The Alcock's left for Van Diemen's Land in 1816. In 1818/19 Elizabeth was still working as a housekeeper. In 1820 and 21 she was a widow at Parramatta. In 1824, Elizabeth was assigned her own servant- John Walmsley (ship- Minerva) at her York Street address, now in Sydney. At the time of the 1828 muster, Elizabeth, now 54, was recorded as a needlewoman, a Catholic and a lodger, living at Joseph Harcourt's (ship- Britannia) house on Castlereagh Street.
