• Notes

  Lucy was referred to as 'a fine, respectable, Aboriginal woman' By 1884 her husband, Charles, became ill and admitted to Mt Eliza Invalid Depot. She and her children were sent to Vasse and 2 children were admitted to the Native Home against her wishes. Lucy worked in the Perth Poorhouse as a servant in order to earn money to keep her baby. It is unclear if she had 2 or 3 children in total alive at this time.
