Biography: Dorothy was part of a prolific group of coiners from Liverpool who were caught in action in a sting operation in September 1833. They were found with moulds, blanks and forged coins. She was described as being from County Sligo, a widowed Catholic who could not read or write. She was a tiny 4 foot 9 and had a ruddy and much freckled complexion with dark brown hair mixed with grey and hazel eyes. Dorothy sent a petition to the Bank of England asking for clemency, this being her first offence and asking she be sent to the National Penitentiary instead (Millbank)

Upon arrival Dorothy was assigned to a Mrs Davis in Sydney as her servant. In 1835 she was sent to the female factory for reassignment. She received a ticket of leave in 1839; at this time she was working for a Mrs Martin on South Head Road. She married 35 year old free convict Patrick Alymer (ship- Mangles) the same year and was assigned to him. By 1841, Dorothy was free by servitude. Beyond this, there are no further records of Dorothy at present.
