See drop-down box for suggested article edit guidelines: Shortcut: WP:Cornwall Articles are written using a standard set of headings (see suggestions for article structure here). This is to maintain consistency between Cornwall articles and to improve the quality of entries through a constant style of writing. These headings are, however, plastic and in a state of flux and although we welcome suggestions or improvements, we would appreciate discussion before any major changes to the layout yourself. Be bold - if you know something about Cornwall then put it in! We value your contributions and don't be afraid if your spelling isn't great as there are plenty of spelling and grammar experts on clean-up duty! At WikiProject Cornwall we subscribe to the policies laid down by Wikipedia - particularly civility and consensus building. We are aware that the wording on Cornish entries can sometimes be a contentious topic, especially those concerning geography. You don't have to agree with everything but there is no excuse for rudeness and these things are best solved through consensus building and compromise. For more information see WP:CornwallGuideline. These pages are not platforms for political discussion. Issues relating to Cornish politics should be restricted to those pages that directly deal with these issues (such as Constitutional status of Cornwall, Cornish self-government movement, etc) and should not overflow into other articles. Most of all have fun editing - that's the reason we all do this, right?!

Is this original research? --Unforgettableid 03:42, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

Looks like it's probably based on a book--google "mary bryant" and "botany bay." Calliopejen 05:26, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

It is difficult to ascertain Marys maiden name. As she was illiterate miss spellings are common. references exist to Mary Broad,Braunt and other spellings.Ghostieguide 23:05, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Just changed "BBC" to "ITV". I'm watching in on ITV as we speak... (~PJP)

[edit] Portsmouth?

What is the source for her going to Portsmouth?

Was it not Plymouth?

[edit] Some of the dates are inconsistent.

In the section "Life":
Paragraph 2 -- "...they later had a son together called Emanuel on May 6, 1792."
Paragraph 3 -- "On March 28, 1791, William, Mary, her children and a seven-man crew stole one of the governor's boats."
Paragraph 5 -- "During the voyage back Mary's husband and children perished of fever; the younger child and husband in late 1791, the elder in May 1792."
