Bathurst Female Factory

[buckyb]

Hi All

Can anyone tell me if there is a data base or list of babies born in the Bathurst Female Factory.

Also is there a data base or list of females who went through the factory?

Many Thanks

Hi there,

I may have some research papers on this, I will look for them over the coming weekend.  In the meantime, I remember the ABC broadcast, so I googled it.

It is possible the Bathurst history groups will be of assistance too.

I will ask for this thread to be moved to the Australia Board as it will likely catch the eyes of others also interested in Convictism in New South Wales, Australia.

I will contact the Bathurst History Groups and look forward to hearing from you if you can locate your research papers.

Hi there,

I have not found the papers I referred to, sorry. 
I have found online image from the NSW 1841 Census covering the counties of: Westmoreland, Georgiana, Bathurst, Roxburgh.  Ancestry has a current partnership arrangement with NSW State Archives.

On one of the summary pages it gives the following numbers for female convicts:
15 Holding Tickets of Leave
20 In Govt Employment   
48 In Private Assignment
