Title: **COMPLETED WITH THANKS**Sophia WHITE (or BROADHURST) - convict
Post by: casram on Friday 04 February 11 11:29 GMT (UK)

Please does anyone have a copy of  Convict Lives: Women at Cascades Female factory published by Research Tasmania, 2009.

I am interested in the chapter Five partners, five children: Sophia White written by Colette McAlpine. I am trying to find out more about Sophia's life in Tasmania and when she died.

thanks

Carolyn

Hello Carolyn

My local library apparently has a copy - I'll have  a look for you, but it won't be until next week.

Hi Carolyn,
No record was found of a death for Sophia White, Saunderson or Pitchers, nor was a record found of her leaving the colony, but on the 7th of June 1862 a Sarah Saunders died in Launceston aged 42. She was listed as a labourer’s wife and her death was registered by Wm Halls the undertaker.  It is possible that this woman was Sophia White.  AOT RGD 35 - 639/1862. Sophia's life in the colony was tinged with sadness, loss and separation. I can provide more details if I can work out how to email you.
I would love to know about Sophia's life before transportation. Thanks.
Of Sophia's children born in this colony only Ann Anna survived. She prefered to be known as Emily Ann and she had 11 children. . I can give you details on her family if you wish.
Sophia's mother married William Lowe in 1862. She died in Knighton i 1873. I would like to know about her family and her origins.
Kind regards,
Lettie
