I have been researching this family for several years. Her mother was an Aboriginal and her father an ex-convict.

Descendants of her parents moved to the various states on the mainland.

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