Convict Notes
Sometime around 1822, Ann formed a relationship with Simon Pugh. No marriage or details have been located. Simon was the son of First Fleet couple, Edward Pugh (Convict, Friendship, 1788) and Hannah Smith Convict, Charlotte/Lady Penrhyn, 1788). By the time Simon and Ann met, she already had a child, James Kennedy, 1820, born on the voyage to the colony. Ann and Simon appear to have had two further children, Hannah Pugh, 1822 and Charlotte Pugh, 1824.
On 16th May sixty-eight of the women were embarked on the 'Princess Charlotte' bound for Van Diemen's Land. They were obliged at first to put back into port for a week because of unfavourable winds however soon resumed this second voyage.
