Biography: Ellen had already been imprisoned for theft of clothing at the 1804 Lancaster Assizes for a year, after release she committed a similar crime and this time was transported.

I cannot find evidence that she landed in New South Wales, there were three women known to have died aboard the Sydney Cove, perhaps Ellen was one.
