Jeffrey H Bent had arrived on the Broxbornebury along with Judith and the children on July 28 1814. The Broxbornebury carried some very prestigious people. Judith is not likely to have been one of them with her husband a convict.
Known to have been on the Broxbornebury in the ” upper classes “were :
BARBER, George (c1795-1844) came free to reunite with his mother in Sydney in 1814, when he travelled on the Broxbornebury. His mother’s second husband , Charles Throsby was a surgeon and Magistrate.
SIR JOHN JAMIESON.
J.H BENT. MAGISTRATE OF THE SUPREME COURT
JOHN HORSLEY.
MRS MARY GREENWAY
GEORGE WILLIAMS
JOHN STILLWELL

It seems that nine of the convicts on the Surrey I had free wives on the Broxbornebury most with children. That means that Judith travelled for months in close company with them. Through deaths, births, illnesses and all the attending circumstances of such a voyage. The voyage lasted 5 months and app 200 people were on board.
For me, I am now wondering what connections might have continued between the McNallys and the other Voyagers once they had arrived in NSW. Most of the Female convicts were sent to the FEMALE FACTORY at PARRAMATTA.
(This is also the year in which John READY came as convict on THE THREE BEES and was assigned to GOVERNMENT HOUSE WINDSOR where his mother, JOHANNAH, was HOUSEKEEPER. JOHANNAH had been transported on the ARCHDUKE CHARLES in 1812. At the same time ANN MORAN and JOHN CURTIS were in the PARRAMATTA area. )

FREE WOMEN WITH CHILDREN WHOSE HUSBANDS WERE ON THE SURRY I OR HAD COME ON OTHER SHIPS AS CONVICTS.
I am listing them as a group on the presumption that they would have shared quarters or been in very close contact and that they would have had at least slightly different conditions from the convict women.
The CROSS and BOGG families were on board and
JANE DAVIS and her children.
ANN THOMPSON and son WILLIAM. The Pitt Town connection comes in here. Ann’s husband who was an educated convict set up a school at Pitt Town – and Ann joined him on her arrival in 1814.
JOSEPH FERNANCE AND HIS MOTHER MARY. Mary and her husband John had a large number of children once they were reunited and five of these children were born in PITT TOWN as was Melinda.
MRS GREENAWAY and 3 children.
The GREGORY family who travelled with a convicted mother. In later year Mr Bogg, shoemaker, apprentices one of the Gregory boys. Following the death of their mother and the return to England of their father the Gregory Boys were placed in the MALE ORPHAN SCHOOL- but in 1826, Mr Bogg takes on George. Young Edward is apprenticed to the Institute of Shoemakers, perhaps with some influence from Mr Bogg. Mr Gregory was on the SURREY I as a free settler.
(These are the kind of connections I am seeking. A trip of that nature under the circumstances existent in the lives of the Voyagers – What are the later connections ? What bonds formed during the Journey? How did they overlap on the ship and in the Colony ? Of what import were these people in the lives of the McNallys in after years – if any ? )
ELIZABETH HOWELL and her 3 children.
MARIA COWAN and her son.
MARY MCPHERSON and 3 children.
SUSAN NEWSHAM with 3 children.
ELIZABETH TOFT and children.
SARAH TOOL and child. With her husband SARAH and family lived at Castlereagh and Windsor and when defeated by farming. they .like the McNallys came into Sydney to live in Kent Street.
THE WHEELER FAMILY , JANE and children. IN 1828, they were living in Castlereagh street as was Melinda. One of the daughters Maria had married JAMES MORRIS JNR and her sister had married one of the BOGGS.
ELIZABETH WISE and children
DOROTHY WOOD and her daughter.
Some of the Broxbornebury voyagers owned or managed hotels in the Colony. An easily accessible meeting place for the Sydneysiders.
Harriet Horne, one of the convict women, made a second marriage to a Mr Drinkwater and they also were living in Kent St in the 1828 Muster.
Norah Murphy one of the convict women was living in Kent St in 1825 Muster.
ANN WILSON married a Mr Hilliard and she died in Kent street in 1839.
