Convict Notes
Hannah Atkinson, born circa 1806 in County Limerick, Ireland, wife of Thomas Atkinson, worked at The Flying Horse pub, 2 Oxford Street, London, for Mrs Elizabeth Haydon, widow of Lawrence Haydon. She stole various belongings of Mrs Haydon, including the licence for the Flying Horse, and she and Thomas fled to Aldborough, Yorkshire (his place of birth). A policeman searched Thomas's mother's house and found him climbing out of an upstairs window. They were both tried at the Old Bailey, London on 11 Apr 1833. Thomas was sentenced to 7 years transportation (he was sent to Bermuda); Hannah was sentenced to transportation for life.
