Wynne in the neighborhood of Uxbridge about a mile distance from his house. GUILTY. Sentenced to death and commuted to transportation for Life.

Life in Australia's Convict Female Factories

Gallery exhibitions - National Archives of Australia.

An estimated one in five Australians has an ancestor who spent time in a convict female factory, but very little material survives from these women. Their contribution has been largely ignored, yet they are the ‘mothers of the nation’ – women with grit who survived the dire conditions of late 18th and early 19th century colonial Australia.
