Lucy Lock was transported to Van Diemen's Land with her unmarried mother Eliza Lock.  Eliza had been convicted of stealing 5 shillings from a man named Jones.  Her convict record indicates that she claimed Lucy's father to be Luke Ashford, Head Cook at the Royal Hospital, Greenwich.  After surviving the four month voyage, Lucy survived less than one month at the Orphan School.

This Orphan died while in care at the Orphan Schools and has no descendants. The Friends of the Orphan Schools acknowledge her. A memorial garden has been created with a plaque dedicated to her memory and all those children who died. Each year the Friends gather at Fox's Feast and pause to remember them all.
