     Her married name was Price.¹ Convict Elizabeth Lomas was born circa 1819 at England Conflicting information, England or Newfoundland. She was House maid in 1836. She was convicted in 1836
There is conflicting information as to Elizabeth’s birth.

We know that at least one Elizabeth Lomas was a convict. The Archives Office of Tasmania has a convict Elizabeth Lomas recorded as originally being from Newfoundland and deported from Woolwich, England to Van Diemen's Land aboard the 'Westmorland' on 12 Aug 1836 ,arriving on 03 Dec 1836.
We don't know how or when she moved from Canada to England or if in fact it is the same Elizabeth Lomas. Her convict records state she was 20 years of age when she was sentenced in 1836; this would mean she was born in 1816. Our Elizabeth’s headstone states she died on the 9 May 1891 at the age of 72 years; this would make here birth date 1819.

She is recorded as applying to marry a George Crombie in 1842; but because both were still under sentence the marriage was postponed and later abandoned. This Elizabeth is recorded as marrying one Thomas Hughes at Richmond in 1847 therefore cannot be our Elizabeth. It seemsto be quite strange that there were two convicts named Elizabeth Lomas, it is more likely that records were mixed up ordetails not correctly recorded.

If all the records are correct It would mean that there were three women named Elizabeth Lomas, the two born in 1819 and a third born in1816, We believe that there could have been two women with the same name born in 1819, if so which one was the convict, or maybe both were. The Elizabeth Lomas who married George Price was buried with him in1891 so could not possibly be the Elizabeth Lomas who married in Richmond in 1853. Maybe our Elizabeth was not even the convict!!. We are still conducting research into this; but are not getting very far.

Our Elizabeth is buried in the Woodbridge Cemetery with her husband, George Price.
