The First Fleet was a fleet of 11 ships carrying convicts from Great Britain to Australia in 1787. This is the first post in a series collating first names of convicts on the First Fleet.
There were 20 female convicts aboard the Charlotte, with the following names:
Mary x 5
Ann x 4
Jane x 3
Elizabeth x 2
Hannah x 2
Margaret x 2
Catherine
Frances (Fanny)
No doubt Catherine and Frances felt pretty unique.
