| | Eliza Donnithorne |
 | | Unknown to all at that time Eliza was carrying George Cuthbertson's child and several months later gave birth to a daughter, Anna, who was taken from her and placed with the family of a servant (Mrs Anna Kelly) to avoid the inevitable scandal illegitimacy would cause at Eliza's level of society. |
 | | Eliza was now 26 and alone, without her fathers masterly hand dominating her life and actions she became the eccentric recluse history will forever remember her as. |
 | | Eliza's estate was valued at £12.000 and consisted of property in Britain and Australia, cash and assets, the main beneficiary being her family in England and long serving housekeepers. |
