Hi RD Black :)

I've searched convict records and NSW BDMs but can find nothing apart from her name on a list of women on board the Broxbornebury  :-\

Do you have any more information about her?  Do you know if she had descendants, for example?

Cheers
Prue

It appears that Matthew MILLER was nearly executed in 1828 for the murder of his second wife Mary Ann AUSTIN.

Can anyone tell me more about Alice?  Who were her family where did she come from? I know she was in Belford in 1813 and because of what she did she ended up in Australia. Curious to know if she was from Northumberland or Scotland any help most useful
