Hi Listers I have Elizabeth Beavis nee McKenzie, wife of Robert Beavis, convict, at the Sydney Markets in 1859, where she had brought produce - possibly fruit- from the family orchard in the Field of Mars - for sale at the Sydney Markets. Following the sale of the fruit, and whilst placing her empty cases on her cart she had the money, from the sale of the goods, stolen. There was a chase, the culprit was caught, the hard earned nine pounds recovered and the would- be thief charged with the offence that day. I would love to have help regarding how this lady drove her cart from the Field of Mars to Sydney. Does any Lister know the route she may have taken - rivers to cross, bumpty and dangerous roads to traverse, a long, tiring journey. How long would have the journey taken by cart? She had a brother in law, Samuel Beavis, living in Sydney so she may have overi-nighted with him. Any help would be wonderful. Cheers Joanne
