Biography: Sarah was a single woman of Manchester. She had stolen a pocketbook from a Thomas Huthersall. She already served a number of six month sentences in the Manchester House Of Correction. She left Lancaster Castle in mid December 1805 with the other women and boarded the ship at Long Reach, Gravesend.

Sarah received an absolute pardon in March 1810 and the same month married soldier Charles Fryar/Fryer of the 102nd Regiment (arrived on ship- Salamander). They had had a son together just a few months before.

There are strong indications that the family left New South Wales with the regiment onboard either Dromedary or Hindostan in May of that year- the rapid pardon and marriage before departure is common to some of the other women who left with soldiers and land Charles owned at Minto seems to have been passed to a possible older brother- Richard, who was a fellow marine of the 102nd onboard Salamander who did stay in the colony. There is an 1814 pension record at the Chelsea Royal Hospital for Charles Fryer of the 102nd, aged 43, having lost an eye to infection. Charles was originally from Wotton Under Edge in Gloucestershire and it is possible they moved back to this area.
