• Notes

  Elizabeth Hainsley [sic] is listed among the prisoners, along with her sister-in-law, Maria Hainsley [sic], tried at the Nottingham Quarter Sessions in England on the 14th of January 1795. She was tried. The court issued the following indictment: "Indictment found at this Session against Elizabeth Hainsley late of the parish of Caunton in the County of Nottingham, Widow and Maria Hainsley late of the same, Widow for feloniously Stealing taking and carrying away One brass pot and One brass pan of the Value of Ten pence of the Goods and Chattels of one William Hodgson To which Indictment the said Elizabeth Hainsley and Maria Hainsley severally pleaded Not Guilty but upon their trial were severally found Guilty And it was ordered by the Court that the said Elizabeth Hainsley and Maria Hainsley be severally Transported to parts beyond the Seas for the Term of Seven Years." Elizabeth arrived at Port Jackson on the 30th of April 1796 onboard the 'Indispensable'. Elizabeth, 26 years old and Maria, 21 years old, were both widows from the village of Cauton, near Newark, Nottinghamshire; Elizabeth, however, was originally from Newcastle, Northumberland. They were amongst the 133 female convicts transported onboard the 'Indispensable' which left England in November 1795 and arrived at Sydney, New South Wales on the 30th of April 1796. How she served her sentence or met James is not known however in 1801 she is listed as living off stores as she was residing or employed by Cpl Brumby. Women were scarce in the Colony and cohabitation between soldiers and convict women was normal. Elizabeth's sentence expired in 1804 after serving 7 years as a crown servant. In the Returns of Women who have been Convicts and are present at Hobart Town, Norfolk Island and Port Dalrymple, 1811, she is listed as Eliza Annesley. Elizabeth could not write and her name is listed as whoever was writing it at the time interpreted it. In 1810 Governor Macquarie arrived in Sydney Town to take control of the colony and he immediately set about to improve the conditions of the colony. One of his first reforms was a "proclamation against the scandalous and pernicious custom so generally and shamefully adopted throughout the territory of persons of different sexes living together unsanctioned by the legal ties of matrimony". He further stated that neither favour nor patronage was to be accorded such persons. James and Elizabeth were subsequently married on the 18th March 1811, in St Johns Church, Launceston by the Reverend Knopwood before witnesses William Lyttleton and Thomas Howard. On the same day their two sons, William, 6 years old and John, 3 years old were baptised.
