Elizabeth Lillian Woolcock: The only woman hung in the Adelaide Gaol
30/12/1873
Portable gallows inside Gaol between walls

Elizabeth Lillian Woolcock was the only woman executed in South Australia. She was convicted of the murder of her husband in 1873.

Elizabeth was born in Burra in 1847. At the age of four she was deserted by her mother and left to grow up in the early Cornish mining villages around Moonta. Her life was dominated by the cruel working conditions, a squalid home life and the fiercely evangelical brand of Wesleyanism.

She was married to Thomas Woolcock on 18 February 1867. The marriage was not a happy one. Thomas drank to excess and was also demanding and abusive.

Even in 1873 her punishment was considered harsh. Many regarded her as the victim of a harsh and deprived upbringing rather than a violent criminal.
