Sarah Reaveley Reveley
A Memory of Flixton.
My Great Grandmother, Sarah, was born in Flixton in 1832. She was convicted in 1848 of setting fire to haystacks, and sent, as a convict, to Tasmania, Australia.
As all her family were farmers, she may have done this as a protest for all of the mechanised equipment being introduced, to the detriment of the farm workers.
Any information on her life in Flixton, would be appreciated, especially newspaper reports of her conviction. I know that reports were printed, but I do not have copies.
