The female convict supplementary records are not separate - they are included along with the male records in the five supplementary volumes. The key to determining where your convict's record continues is the date of the last recorded note in the main record, as the supplementary volumes seem to be in strictly date order as the additional space was required. The page nos. given in the record are way out of sync with the folio nos. of the digitised records, and there seem to be quite a few page nos missing. I have one such individual in my ancestry, who was so irrascible that she had her sentence extended several times so that she ended up serving 14 years instead of the original 7 year term. Her record was very difficult to read as every available blank space was filled and spilt over into the adjoining spaces, before they started her record in the supplementary volume. Maybe this is an opportunity to ask if anyone knows of her fate. Ellen Malony was born about 1817, was convicted in Middlesex in 1834, and arrived in Hobart in March 1835 in the New Grove. She was assigned to numerous employers, insulted and disobeyed most of them and spent considerable periods in the Female Factories in both Hobart and Launceston. Even there she caused trouble and was confined to solitary on bread and water. She gave birth to a daughter, Jane, in April 1843, and married Robert (or Roger?) Edge in 1847 at Richmond. Her ticket of leave was granted in 1845 and her certificate of freedom in 1848. She is mentioned in the 1849 muster, but there does not appear to be any record of her after that. Any clues as to what became of her would be appreciated. Her daughter married a former convict, Zachariah Henry York, and produced a family of 12, of whom 10 survived to adulthood. -- Regards Mike Hurburgh --- This email is free from viruses and malware because avast!
