Softcover. Zustand: As New. In late 19th century Australia, many abandoned children were exploited as free labor, their stories largely hidden until now. Lucy Frost's thorough research reveals the plight of convict orphans, whose histories were often buried due to family shame surrounding convict ancestry or illegitimate births. Among these forgotten tales is that of Agnes, who arrived on a convict transport at four and was abandoned by her mother to escape an abusive husband. Similarly, Maria and Eliza Marriner were placed in state care after their mother died and their father deserted them. Inside the austere Queen's Orphan Schools, they, along with hundreds of other children, were under the watch of the feared Matron Smyth. At twelve, they were forced to work without pay on farms and in homes, often in abusive environments. Although colonists referred to this as white slavery, authorities ignored the grim reality. The children's stories include both abuse and the kindness of those who helped them. While some managed to create fulfilling lives, many struggled against a system designed to fail them. Disturbing parallels exist between the Queen's Orphan Schools and contemporary children's institutions in Australia.…

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. A very good clean copy. Drawing on court records, ship manifests, letters and colonial archives, Lucy Frost reconstructs the lives of Scottish women transported to Van Diemen's Land in the late 1830s for often minor offences.

Rich in historical detail and personal stories, this compelling work sheds light on the resilience of women whose experiences have long been overlooked, offering a vivid insight into the convict system and nineteenth-century colonial society.…

Softcover. Zustand: AS NEW COPY. The heartbreaking stories of the colony's forgotten children, and those who succeeded against all odds.AUSTRALIANA AS NEW COPY!Many thousands of abandoned children were treated as free labour in late 19th century Australia, yet their stories have been hidden until now, even to their descendants. Lucy Frost's painstaking research has uncovered what really happened to the convict orphans.Longlisted for the 2024 Green Family Tasmanian History AwardAll families have their secrets, and a convict ancestor or an illegitimate birth were shames that families once buried deep. Among the best-hidden stories in Australia's history are those of the convict orphans.Agnes arrived on a convict transport aged four and was abandoned when her mother needed to escape an abusive husband. After their mother died and their father deserted them, Maria and Eliza Marriner were taken into state care too. Cut off from family, behind the walls of the imposing sandstone buildings of the Queen's Orphan Schools, they were among hundreds of young children entrusted to the much feared Matron Smyth.At the age of twelve, the children left the orphanage to work without pay on farms and in homesâ"some of them places where no child should ever have been sent. Although colonists called it white slavery, the authorities turned a blind eye to what was really happening.These are stories of abuse and abandonment, and also of great generosity and kindness from individuals who rescued and supported children. Some children managed to build happy lives for themselves, but many could not navigate a system stacked against them.
