Entried arranged in alphabetical order by convict surname, then given name. A large number of convicts used several names, and their names were often spelt in several different ways. The spelling and name used in this document is that in the publication, which is usually the same as that in the FCRC’s Female Convicts in Van Diemen’s Land Database. If you can’t find a convict in the FCRC Database, try searching with her surname in the ‘Aliases’ field which include various versions of spelling, aliases and married names as used in official documents about that convict.
