This orphan has been claimed by: Troy Nash

Martha is my G-G-G Grandmother. Martha along with her sister Elizabeth were placed into Queens Orphan School after their mother Louisa, who was a convict, passed away on her voyage to Van Diemens Land in 1832. Martha later moved to the mainland and married Christian Roworth in Geelong, Victoria. After 10 years of marriage, Christian passed away. Some 8 years later, Martha re-married in 1872 to Charles Bath. Martha lived to 85, passing away in 1913 and is buried in an unmarked grave in Inverleigh, Victoria.
