Sarah Elizabeth Maton, aged 26 (also recorded as Elizabeth Sarah) made the voyage from England to Tasmania, Australia with her sister Mary Ann aged 28. They were among the 200 persons selected in England being either on paupers or parish relief. The sisters sailed on the ship 'William Metcalfe' arriving January 24, 1837 after a three month voyage. The arrival of so many caused a glut and consequently most couldn't find employment in the new country. In 1840, Sarah, aged 29, married Samuel Ridler who had been transported as a convict in 1829. Samuel was now a free man, having served a 7 year sentence in Van Diemen's land. Sarah and Samuel had 4 known children - William James, Emma, Mary Ann and 1 birth recorded simply as F.
