Sarah Francisco
Sarah Francisco ( – 1 November 1916) was a resident of Adelaide, South Australia. Notorious for her frequent alcohol-related arrests she still holds the record for number of arrests in South Australia and was to spend more than 16 years in gaol despite the majority of her sentences running concurrently and receiving no sentence longer than 12 months.
==Early life==
Sarah Francisco was born Sarah Wearing in Ireland around 1839. Her mother died in 1844 and Francisco was brought up by an aunt on a dairy farm. In 1865 her elder sister emigrated to Australia and Francisco followed later, arriving in Adelaide on 7 November 1866. In 1867 she married John "Frank" Francisco, a Genoese sailor and settled down in Port Adelaide.
Her husband was a heavy drinker and violent. Francisco carried a facial scar from being hit in the face with a brass candlestick and while under the influence Frank attempted to murder her on several occasions, once by throwing her down a well and several times by giving her poison. One day, complaining of a sore ankle, he took to his bed and refused to leave it for more than three years. After his doctor suggested he needed to take a two-week break away from home he left and never returned.
The marriage had produced two sons, Joseph and John. As sole breadwinner Francisco worked several cleaning jobs from 3am to 11pm, working with one child on her back while cradling the youngest. Following five-year-old John's death in an accident, Francisco took to drinking and eventually became an alcoholic.〔(Adelaide Gaol webpage )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.adelaidegaolheritage.com.au/sarah-francisco.html )〕
