Convict Notes
Ann had put off (fraudulently paid with) 10 counterfeit shillings at Manchester. She was described as being able to read, a Roman Catholic, a widow and had one female child. She was a tailoress by trade but undertook all-work. Her native place was Ennis, County Clare, Ireland. Ann was 5ft 1, with a ruddy and very freckled complexion with brown hair and light hazel eyes. At sea, Ann suffered from diarrhoea onboard and was sent to the hospital upon arrival. Once recovered after a few days rest, she was assigned to Robert Jones. Unsuitable, she was returned to the factory for reassignment in September. By the following year, she was in trouble with the police and was sent to the 3rd class of the female factory. In 1837, Ann was assigned to a H Danger,(?) then Sarah Dighe(?). Ann received her certificate of freedom in 1842, now aged 48. In addition to the previous description she was also said to have eyebrows; partially meeting and her arms and backs of her hands were also freckled. Only months after gaining freedom, she was in trouble again and was locked up for 24 hours on bread and water.
