Thomas Geary
29 July 1774 - 26 March 1833
Your Memory Lives On
He didn't make it... life was just so hard ,disease was everywhere ,appalling conditions..
Conditions on board the floating gaols were appalling. The standards of hygiene were so poor that disease spread quickly. The sick were given little medical attention and were not separated from the healthy.
Williams alone... on his way to Australia, to who knows what?his wife ,mother and children are stricken with grief ..Life is truly hard..
But we are Geary's
Fortiter et fideliter..Boldly & Faithfully we have to go on
