Convict Notes
Digitised Indent of ship Mary Anne. Hannah Probert and Sarah Bartlam, tried at Ass. for Co. - Warwick, 23 Mar 1790, Transported for Life. -------------------------------------------------------------- The calendar of the prisoners tried at Warwick assizes, contained less than eighty, nineteen of whom were capitally convicted, and received sentence of death, viz ...Thomas Walford and Hannah Probert, (aged 18) for robbing J. Mackay, in a house of ill fame, of bills and money—Sarah Bartlam (aged 19) for robbing W. Mitton, in the same manner; ... Sheffield Register, 9 April 1790 The Judge, before he left the town, reprieved Rich, Wade, Wells, Walford, H. Probert, Watton, Chatfield, Buck, Perry, and Spiers, respited the sentence of Sarah Bartlam, in consequence of her pregnancy, and left the other 8 for execution. Derby Mercury, 1 April 1790.
Sarah Richards was charged with murder of her husband Joseph Richards in 1835 and found guilty of manslaughter, sentenced to transportation for the term of her natural life.
Sarah was born Sarah Austin and was the wife of John Bartlam, both from Birmingham. She was pregnant at the time of appearing in court and was initially sentenced to execution but this was reduced to transportation for life due to her pregnancy. Sarah married several times in New South Wales: to convict Francis Garland soon after arriving and then to John Sullivan in 1797. In 1806 she was recorded as having a daughter. It's not clear if this was the child she was pregnant with in 1790. Sarah was further convicted in 1835 and transported to Moreton Bay until 1839 when she was granted a ticket of leave. Sarah died age 76 on 2 January 1848 at Parramatta Factory. She was buried in St Patrick's cemetery in Parramatta. (She retained the name Bartlam despite her marriages.)
