Hi Aust Port Jackson Convict researchers and Ancestors. My name is Sandra I was a member of the email list some time ago, however, I never had enough time to research and suspended my membership until I had more time to devote to this fascinating time consuming subject. My ggg grandmother was Martha Wright (22 yrs) who came to Australia on the Louisa in about 1823 with her 6 months old baby daughter Martha. Martha married Benjamin Newcomb and emancipated convict and so our family story goes on. Martha later married Richard Worthing and had many more children. I have a lot of information about this family if any-one is researching this family. Currently I am struggling with another branch of my family and I have also seen that many others are also stumped on Charlotte Sutton and how did she arrive in Australia. I have her being married to William Britten in Australia . I also have Charlotte as being born in 1798 at St Nicholas, Ash near Kent. UK. I am in contact with a Sutton family researcher from the UK and he follows the Sutton family back to Kent with Mary Adams marrying Leonard Sutton in the early 1700s. My UK Sutton ancestor researcher also has Charlotte marrying William Britten who arrived on the Active in 1791 a private in the 102 Battalion NSW Corps . His marriage to Charlotte soon after his arrival was witnessed by School teacher of Windsor Thomas Berrington and Harriet Mitchell. Some researchers have Charlotte as being born in the colony but there are no records of her birth. There does not seem to be any records of her arrival as a convict although she would have been about 15 when she married William Britten. Maybe she came earlier with a convict mother and was placed in the female factory like my Martha Wright. I would love to hear from anyone who can help solve the question of how Charlotte arrived in Australia? Regards Sandra
