Ellen was the daughter of John Barefoot and Elizabeth Church, both ex convicts arriving around 1809/1811 in Austrlia. Ellen was the fourth youngest of 9. It would appear that in the mid 1820's the family was likely living in a squalid environement and that the parents unfortunately could not care for the children, it looks like there were 4 other siblings in state care at the time.

Use this facility to register your interest so other researchers can contact you. Add up to a 2000 character short story about your orphan and what became of them after they left the Orphan School. You can add links to other web sites and upload a photo.  Note that you can claim more than one orphan and that any orphan can be claimed more than once.
If you need to contact our researchers then email us and quote the orphan name and index number above.
