I'm not sure that it was correct to connect the Mary Ann Alexander (unmarried) transported to Australia with the Mary Ann Alexander (implied wife of Thomas Alexander) found not guilty of receiving later in London
Mary Ann married in Australia and returned to England with her husband. Both were later prosecuted over a theft, Mary Ann was charged with receiving but her marriage certificate led to her being found not guilty.
Married John Fletcher. Ended up in New Zealand.
Was Mary Ann Andrews. ist marriage to Robert Alexander before being convicted and transported from England.
