NSW POLICE GAZETTE & WEEKLY RECORD OF CRIME 7 JAN 1925 Trove Tuesday 29 Oct 2019

INSTRUCTIONS TO POLICE



The Police in earlier years sure had it tough... so often, we seek the stories of convicts and criminals... this Police Gazette, from 1925, gives some idea of what the rules and regulations were for the police in that time. 

 This Gazette lists the guidelines for dealing with many of the offences, etc. that the police would come across, and lists the areas of jurisdiction.

 By the way... did you know... The first police force in the Colony was made up of the eight of the best-behaved convicts.

FOLLIES, FEARS & FORTUNES? FEMALE CONVICTS - TROVE TUESDAY 22nd Oct. 2019 Pt. 2.








The Cascades female factory protest of 1838. IMAGE: convictcreations.com

FOLLIES, FEARS & FORTUNES?
Pt. 2
There are quite a number of sites that include names and details of female convicts. However, as with the males, not all female convicts have been 'claimed' or researched so the information on them can be limited. There are some similar or same names .. so it is with some hesitation that the following have been researched.

 I've selected a handful of female convicts .. 
Let's see what is readily available. Feel free to claim any of them and add what you know. You may find someone else can add to it...and perhaps you'll find a cousin or two...

 Some of the many resources available...

Esther Abrahams was 20 years old when indicted for stealing 24 yards of black silk lace, value, 50s., the property of Joseph and Charles Harrop, from their shop.
When indicted she was pregnant and gave birth to her daughter ‘Rosanna’ on 18/3/1787.  Whilst on board the Lady Penrhyn, she met Lieutenant George Johnston and after landing at Sydney Cove became his de-facto wife.
Her biography makes very interesting reading and can be found on the ‘Australian Dictionary of Biography’ website.
