First?

The article says Elizabeth "was generally known throughout her long lifetime as the first convict female to land in Australia" However it goes on to say that five other women convicts landed the previous day. What? Peter Bell (talk) 08:41, 26 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Not seeing a clear claim to notability here. The subject appears remarkably non-notable save for their alleged role as first or last in a historical context of dubious importance. See also WP:1E. -Ad Orientem (talk) 16:09, 18 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

On 28 January 1788, 17 marines' wives not female convicts, landed in Australia. On 5 February 1788, five female convicts landed in Australia, and Elizabeth Thackery was the first ashore, and first of the five women as they ran to the men waiting for them.

This article seems notable to me, as it also gives important context about the severity of punishment at the time. She was convicted and sent to Australia for the theft of 3 handkerchiefs with a total value of 1 shilling.--FeralOink (talk) 06:05, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
