As with any genealogical effort, this is a work-in-progress and includes information shared by various family members. While every attempt to document all sources has been made, there are many opportunities for human error and conflicts within the sources themselves. Any privacy concerns will be addressed - refer Privacy Policy. I would love to hear from anyone who shares common ancestry.

    In which there is no listing for either Ann Teasdale, Ann Teasdel or James Blake, however 'Hannah Teesdale Gee' is mentioned on page 215 in Chapter 14, relating to life in Sydney Cove after the ship's arrival :
    ...'A network of persuasion and protection, favours granted and whitheld, had bound the women and the ship's company...
    this was begining to dissolve and another to emerge between the women and th men of the colony. Some had been taken themselves, off the availability list. Jane Forbes, Sarah Whitelam, Sarah Dorset, Elizabeth Griffin, Ann Bryant and Margaret Wood were all nursing babies. Mary Flannegan was pregnant, so were Hannah Teesdale Gee, Susannah Mortimore and Elizabeth Gale, all to Lady Julian(a) seamen.

    ....On the passage to Port Jackson the Lady Juliana was nothing more than a floating brothel. "When were fairly out at sea", recalls Nichol, "every man on board took a wife from among the convicts, they nothing loath".....
