Heritage Family Tree - Ancestry
Rose, also known as Mary Smith, was born in Birmingham in 1818, one of eleven

children of an Umbrella maker. In 1843 she was tried for having stolen

clothing (one cotton gown, two chemises an apron and a skirt) and pawning the

items. Although she was lent Two Shillings by the pawnbroker, Rose was

convicted and sentenced to transportation for seven years to Van Diemen's

Land. Rose Arrived in Hobart on the convict ship TASMANIA on the 20th of

December 1844. On the 6th of April 1846 she married Francis Heritage who had

been sentenced to seven years for robbery. Their first three children were

born in Tasmania. Six more were born after Rose and Francis arrived in

Victoria where they eventually settled on a farm at Mia Mia, near Newstead.

The children were Mary Ann (born 1847); Frank (1848); John Charles (1850);

William Henry (1852); Maria (1854); Walter (1856); George (1858); Alfred

(1860) and James (1862). After Francis's death in 1875, Rose moved to

Essendon where several of her children were living. She died in March 1912 at

the age of 93 and is buried in Fawkner Cemetery. She is remembered as a very

kind woman, known for her vast knowlege about plants and herbs and for her

skill in midwifery.
