LIST 15 - 1800 MUSTER - NEW SOUTH WALES
The first muster presented for New South Wales is the 1800 Muster.
Unfortunately no colonial born entries have been identified in this earliest
muster as the eldest would have been only twelve years old, however there are
four female childhood arrivals mentioned.
The information presented in the list on these four girls includes:
family name Christian nameyear of birth
parents' names
parents' civil status at the time of the child's birth parents' marital status at the time of the child's birth year of arrival ship of arrival place of residence with whom residing name as it appears in the muster, reference number linking back to the original source document.The entries are listed in alphabetical order on the child's father's surname.
The year of birth and parental details are all "value added" fields not
found in the original muster.
To be honest the 1800 Muster is not a "muster" in the usual sense of a full accounting of the entire population. Rather the ABGR people have collected
together 19 separate lists from the years 1800 and 1801, the lists cover such
people as; officers - civil and military, settlers, emancipated, conditionally
pardoned and absolutely pardoned convicts, landholders, etc. Regretfully for
the historian and genealogist the one group who are not listed are the currently
serving convicts.
Harriet Sutton's mother did not come to the colony and her name is unknown.
Similarly Catherine Riley's father is unknown.
There is no place of residence recorded for Harriet Sutton and neither she
nor Ann Griffin have whom they live with recorded, presumably in both cases
it is her parents.
