Gallery exhibitions – National Archives of Australia.
An estimated one in five Australians has an ancestor who spent time in a convict female factory, but very little material survives from these women. Their contribution has been largely ignored, yet they are the ‘mothers of the nation’ – women with grit who survived the dire conditions of late 18th and early 19th century colonial Australia.
Our Mary Ann Jones nee Sullivan c.1806-?, spent time here and it would be absolutely fascinating to visit this exhibition. Oh at times like this wish I was still living in NSW! Maybe I need to go home…
If you’re in Sydney this is a must see exhibition!
