List of convicts on the First Fleet
The First Fleet is the name given to the group of eleven ships carrying convicts, the first to do so, that left England in May 1787 and arrived in Australia in January 1788. The ships departed with an estimated 775 convicts (582 men and 193 women), as well as officers, marines, their wives and children, and provisions and agricultural implements. After 43 convicts had died during the eight-month trip, 732 landed at Sydney Cove.[1]
In 2005, the First Fleet Garden, a memorial to the First Fleet immigrants, friends and others was created on the banks of Quirindi Creek at Wallabadah, New South Wales. Stonemason Ray Collins researched and then carved the names of all those who came out to Australia on the eleven ships in 1788 on tablets along the garden pathways. The stories of those who arrived on the ships, their life, and first encounters with the Australian country are presented throughout the garden.[2]
No single definitive list of people who travelled on those ships exists; however, historians have pieced together as much data about these pioneers as possible. In the late 1980s, a simple software program with a database of convicts became available for Australian school students, both as a history and an information technology learning guide. An on-line version is now hosted by the University of Wollongong.[3]
Digitised images of the lists from the Orders in Council for the First Fleet are available on the Convict Indents Index.[4]

Elizabeth Clark | c.1766 | Derby | 11 Jan 1785 | 7 | Clark was convicted at the Derby Assizes of stealing clothing (value 6s and 6d). Clark was sent to the Dunkirk hulk two days later and was discharged to the Friendship in March 1787. Transferred to the Prince of Wales at the Cape of Good Hope in August 1787. In May 1788, Clark was charged at Sydney Cove of abusing Private William Norris while in a state of intoxication. She was sentenced to be tied to a cart's tail and flogged publicly once up and down the women's camp, on the western side of the cove. The case was re-opened and the sentence was countermanded after it was learnt that the two had been intimate on the Friendship, and that Norris had struck her, calling her a whore. She died on 4 September 1788 aged approximately 22.[83] | Friendship |
James Clark | c.1753 | London | 6 Apr 1786 | 7 | alias Hosier. Clark was convicted at the Old Bailey in London of stealing a silver watch (value 40s), a steel watch chain (value 5s) and two seals (value 2s each). He had been a butcher, and claimed at his trial that he had been "wounded in the action of Inigo Jones", and had a pension that he had used to go into business with his sister on Grub Street.[84] Clark was held on the Ceres hulk before being transported to New South Wales. Clark worked at the governor's farm in 1789. In March 1790 he was sent (as James Clark) to Norfolk Island on the Sirius. By July 1791 he was living with Susannah Huffnell and her daughter Elizabeth on a Sydney Town lot.[85] It is possible that he is the Charles Clark who lived with Mary Lammerman on a four acre lot at Queenborough in June 1794. He departed with Mary for Van Diemen's Land on the Porpoise in 1807. In the 1811 Muster he was listed as Charles Clark, living at Hobart. By 1822 he was back in New South Wales, as Charles Clark, employed by W. Broughton at Appin. In 1828 he was working as a servant for Elizabeth Peisley. No further records have been located for him after 1828.[86] | Scarborough |
William Clarke | c.1764 | London | 14 Jan 1784 | 7 | Clarke was convicted at the Old Bailey of having stolen one wooden cask (value 6d) and five gallons of raspberry brandy (value 22s) from the King of Prussia pub on Saltpetre Bank (now Dock Street, Whitechapel).[87] Clarke was originally sentenced to death but had his sentence commuted to transportation for 7 years at some point. He was sent to the Censor hulk in August 1784. Clarke was sent to Norfolk Island on the Supply in February 1789. He may have been the William Clarke who received 50 lashes for neglect of duty in June 1790. In July 1791 he was subsisting two people on a Sydney Town lot. He married Sarah Cumberland in a mass wedding ceremony on the island in November 1791. In 1794 he was hired as a labourer for six months by Stephen Martin. Clarke left Norfolk Island (alone) for Van Diemen's Land (Tasmania) on the Porpoise in December 1807, settling on a 31 acre lot at New Norfolk. He died on 15 October 1822 at Richmond; his age was given as 52.[88] He died “a very infirm old man” as a result of “excessive drinking of spirits”.[89] | Scarborough |
John Clarke | Unknown | Exeter | 7 Aug 1786 | 7 | Clarke was convicted at Exeter for stealing livestock (two lambs) and mutton with a value of 14 shillings. He was sentenced to transportation for 7 years having been originally sentenced to death. He died on 6 June 1787 at sea.[90] | Charlotte |

There was no Mary Bishop in the First Fleet. However, Mary Davies/Davis formed a liaison with Thomas Bishop, Marine, prior to this marriage. As both she and Bolton were tried at the same place, on the same day, received identical sentences for similar crimes and travelled on the same ship, this mis-identification is the only logical explanation for a marriage characterised by Mollie Gillen as a "considerable complication" and a "mystery" | Alexander | |
