Biographies

Rose was born circa 1790 at Meath, Ireland. She was convicted and sentenced to 7 years in Aug 1817 at Meath.

She arrived in Sydney on the "Elizabeth I" (2) on 19 Nov 1818 and was on the list of convicts forwarded to the Female Factory at Parramatta on 25 Nov 1818.

She and James Brown obtained a marriage license on 28 Feb 1823. They had already had one daughter and a second was born shortly after the marriage.

She died in childbirth on 3 Dec 1825, age 35 after giving birth to a son, who also died shortly afterwards. There was an enquiry into the cause of her death by the Bench at Windsor on 5 Dec 1825 and a copy of proceedings of this enquiry transmitted to the Judge Advocate on 19 Dec 1825.

She was buried on 4 Dec 1825 at St Matthews Pitt Town, Windsor, NSW and the two young girls became orphan school indents.
