Empire (Sydney, NSW : Tuesday 17 December 1867)
DEATHS.
On the 17th December, at her residence, York-street, Jane Bell Beattie, relict of the late Mr. Benjamin Bell Beattie, of this city, after a long and painful illness, in the fifty-fourth year of her age, leaving a large circle of friends to mourn their loss.
-----
She ran a huge pub in the centre of Sydney for 7 years after her husband’s death.
-----
She signed up to come to Australia on the female assisted emigration scheme. She came on the first trip of the ship "Bussorah Merchant". The British government had been promoting the benefits of life in Australia and over 200 courageous women took this opportunity.
-----
The Sydney Gazette and New South Wales Advertiser (Tuesday 20 August 1833)
FEMALES PER BUSSORAH MERCHANT.
A very interesting scene has been passing within our own review for these last few days, since the landing of the free women arrived per Bussorah Merchant, and their being placed in their new quarters, the place formerly occupied by Government as the Lumber-yard. We are assured that this importation is very far superior in every respect to any importation of females of similar class heretofore arrived amongst us, and are happy to say this assurance is confirmed by the great demand that has been made by the respectable families of our community for the services of these young women, as in the first three days about 180 out of the 215 were engaged, and proceeded to their respective situations, which, we hope, will prove comfortable to these friendless females now domiciled among us, and whom Providence, in its wisdom, has separated from friends and connexions dear to them during the sojourn in this life, as it is unlikely very few of them will ever visit their native land again.
