BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY. AUSTRALIAN. Georgiana Molloy (23 May 1805 - 8 April 1843) was an early settler in Western Australia, who is remembered as one of the first botanical collectors in the colony. Georgiana Molloy was born Georgiana Kennedy in Cumberland on 23 May 1805. In her youth she was caught up in the Christian revival sparked by the preacher Edward Irving. She became deeply religious, and gradually became estranged from her family, who did not share her fervour. Early in 1829, she accepted a marriage proposal from Captain John Molloy, and they were married on 6 August of that year. Shortly afterwards, the Molloys sailed for the Swan River Colony in Western Australia on board the Warrior.
