Noted events in her life were:
• source. Marion Purnell where it is noted:
Lucy Lane was a young Englishwoman who arrived in Sydney as a free person on 27 May 1797, aboard the convict transport ship 'Ganges'. Other sources record that they arrived aboard the ship 'Britannia' on 18 Jul, quoting that Lucy in the 1828 census, recorded her arrival per the 'Britannia'. Lucy accompanied Thomas Sherland, a private in the 102nd Regiment, also known as the NSW Corps, and later as the Rurn Corps. During the voyage, in the Bay of Biscay, Lucy gave birth to Mary Lane Sherland, probably on 28 December 1796.
Lucy and Thomas separated less than a year after arriving in Sydney, and Lucy entered a de facto relationship with Private John Rousseau, also of the 102nd Regiment. They were later married at St. Philip's Church, Sydney, by the Rev. Samuel Marsden. Rev. Marsden's notes give the date of the wedding as 29 July 1798, but the church register shows the date as 23 July. Lucy gave birth to a son John on 19 February 1799, and a second son, William, on 30 May 1801.

Lucy next married John Rousseau on 29 Jul 1798 in St Phillips C of E, Sydney, NSW Australia. (John Rousseau was born circa 1770.)
