Follow the Female Convict Trail
The Minstrel was built at Hull in 1810.
Passengers on the Minstrel included Lieutenant-Colonel Davy of the Royal Marines, who was appointed His Majesty's Lieutenant-Governor of Hobart, and Lieutenant Oxley of the Royal Navy. Also Naval Officer John Beamont; VDL Settler Walter Lang, carpenter Edward Roach who was husband of Margaret Roach convict on board; Sophia Warner, widow of William Warner; and a young lad Benjamin Goddard son of one of the convict women Catherine Harvey.
The Leeds Mercury reported on 4th April 1812 that Frances Hardcastle and Amelia Barnes from the Castle; and Mary Dinsdale and Mary Bell from the City Gaol were to be delivered on board the Minstrel Transport ship; and on the 8th April 1812 the Bury and Norwich Post added Bridget Crack and Mary Bray who were to be removed from the gaol to be transported to New South Wales for seven years. Many of the prisoners of the Minstrel were also probably incarcerated in Newgate prison prior to transportation.
In all 127 female convicts were embarked on the Minstrel however one was re-landed. Thirty-six were under the age of 21 and most would never return to England.
The Minstrel sailed from England on 4th June 1812 in company with the Indefatigable
The Indefatigable and the Minstrel arrived at Rio de Janeiro on 29th July and found there the Archduke Charles from Ireland with 150 male and 40 female prisoners bound for Port Jackson.
The three vessels sailed in company from Rio the 11th August 1811 but the Archduke Charles separated the day following. The Minstrel and the Indefatigable kept company until the 17 August and then separated in a gale of wind.
The Minstrel arrived in Port Jackson on 25 October 1812. One woman had died on the passage out and 125 eventually arrived in Port Jackson. According to the Sydney Gazette the women were all in a fine healthy state. The convict indents give only basic information such as name, when and where convicted and sentence. No ages are recorded, nor offence committed.
On the 28th October an order was given that the few women who were permitted to be assigned to people in Sydney were to be landed that afternoon with a complete set of slops and bedding. The remainder of the women were to be taken to Parramatta Female Factory by water at sunrise the following morning. Boats were to be ready alongside the Minstrel to receive them and convey them twenty miles up the river to Parramatta. The women were probably fortunate to have made the journey when they did as the weather was probably fine and warm, however three weeks later they witnessed the first storm since their arrival in the colony. There was a torrential downpour. Crops were destroyed, pigeons killed by enormous hailstones and newly shorn sheep perished in the cold as the Parramatta River rose to an alarming height before subsiding once more.
Lieutenant Robert Durie of the 73rd Regiment was Commandant and Magistrate at Parramatta when the women arrived. He was appointed to the position in June 1810 and received an allowance of 5 shillings per day paid from the police fund for the extra duties he performed as Magistrate. In November 1812 it was announced that Captain Durie was proceeding to Europe on twelve months leave to attend to private affairs. He was directed to take charge of a detachment of Royal Marines who were proceeding to England on the Isabella.* Captain Haddon Smith of the 73rd regt., was appointed to the position of Commandant and took up his duties on 1st November 1812.
Elizabeth Hannell was one of the women who arrived as a prisoner on the Minstrel. After a colonial indiscretion for which she was transported to Newcastle, she went on to lead successful life in the colony. Her three sons Jesse, John and James played prominent parts in the early development of Newcastle. James Hannell became the first Mayor of Newcastle in 1859.
The Minstrel departed Port Jackson on 6th July 1813 bound for England. http://www.jenwilletts.com/convict_ship_minstrel_1812.htm
