Convict Notes
1839 - 3 May 1839. Trial. Offence; Larceny in a dwelling house. [Stealing 6 sovereigns from her master] Previous Conviction; 4 Feb 1839 - Acquitted. Larceny by servant. 1839 - 2 December. Treated on board the ship for Toothache Status; Widowed. 3 Children. Aged; 30 years. Trade; Fair Cook & House Servant. Native Place; Chester. 1842 - 10 October. Married Richard Reed. 1849 - 4 April. Free Certificate.
I checked on the Tasmanian Pioneer Index and there is a record of their marriage - 10 Oct 1842 Hobart, Richard was 28, Mary was 30. (ref. 70/1842 - 37 - details can be looked up on microfisch). Also on Archives Tas they were granted permission to marry - 52/1/2 page 167. There is a record under Colonial Families, but just for the couple, no children. There is no birth of a son or a Richard to them on the Index, but then not all were registered. Did they leave Tasmania to live elsewhere? (I checked under spelling "Reid" also, but nothing.) Your search continues!
