This index lists all women sentenced by the Sydney Court to time in the Parramatta Female Factory. There are c.2500 entries.

The names and information have been extracted from the Sydney and Darlinghurst Gaol Entrance and Description Books 1819–1829, NRS 2514-1 Volumes [4/6360-4/6430]. Entries list the woman’s name, ship of arrival, offence, and sentence. Other names, such as a married name or alias, are also recorded. Additional details, including references to documents such as Certificates of Freedom or census entries, are provided in the Remarks section.

Work continues on this index extracting further names from the 1830s and 1840s Sydney and Darlinghurst Gaol Entrance and Description Books and will be added as each year is completed.
