Hi Leang, Should this notice have an image attached? Let me know if you had trouble with the interface - did it not attach although you had added one? Nnub will only accept jpeg, jpg, png, or gif and there is a limit of 1MB, but please let me know if you did attach a file that should be ok and it didn't attach. thanks, Fiona.

Hello I think the back row should be identified from right to left as I am sure that the young woman third from the right is Lily Queenie Gooch and I am fairly sure that the woman first on the right is Ethel Gooch. Elizabeth Conway (nee Gooch)

Miss Rye immigrants
Miss Rye immigrants were "distressed gentlewomen", middle class ladies sliding down the social scale who needed to earn a living. They could do so with less loss of dignity in the colonies. Maria Rye, through the Female Middle Class Emigration Society made loans to them so they could travel to places such as Australia.
On 1 December 1862, 141 of them arrived in Brisbane on the Conway.
The two newspapers, the Queensland Guardian and the Brisbane Courier had a field day mocking their 'high respectability', suspected husband-hunting and lack of the required work skills.
Check out what the Courier had to say online at the National Library Australian newspapers site http://www.nla.gov.au >Australian newspapers.
The State Library also holds copies of some of the letters these women wrote outlining their experiences and views of the colonies ( AJCP reel) M468. These are part of the Australian Joint Copying Project, material relevant to Australia's history from British repositories.
If you have stories related to the Conway immigrants of 1862 or Miss Rye's immigrants on this or other vessels we would like to hear from you at genie@slq.qld.gov.au or 07 3840 7775.
