Dear Jenny & Trudy I seem to have missed the beginning of this. I have just finished researching Jane New (married name) and she was not sent to the female factory but was privately employed before joining her husband in Sydney. There is a book about to be published on her. Can't reveal too much about her but contact me off line and I can tell you a bit about her. It will be a great story.
