The Alexander was the largest ship, and held the largest number of people. Details of all the crew aboard the Alexander are not known, but it was believed to carry 195 male convicts.
The people on the First Fleet were from England and Ireland.
People in the First Fleet did not marry whilst still at sea, but once the fleet arrived in New South Wales, a number of convicts married, and some convicts and marines or convicts and officers married. The first weddings occurred within two weeks of the fleet arriving in Australia, with Reverend Richard Johnson officiating at the marriages of five couples on 10 February 1788.
