Biography: Alice stole two pieces of calico from calico printer Robert Say & Co of Clayton Vale, Manchester. She was the wife of John Wrigley and had served a number of jail sentences in the years before her transportation conviction.

She was initially sent to Parramatta and married fellow Lancastrian Charles Johnson (ship- Admiral Gambier) at St Johns in August 1814. In February 1816 she was sent on to Newcastle Prison colony onboard the ship ‘Kangaroo’ for two years but had her sentence remitted just three months later and was returned to Sydney on the Lady Nelson. Between 1820 and 22 she was down as doing ‘country work’. In 1825, now free, she was again listed as wife of Charles Johnson at Sydney.

Alice died, just two years later, aged 56 (more likely about 54) in November 1827 and was buried at Devonshire Street Cemetery (listed as Eisi Johnson), and was later re-interred at Bunnerong.
