Convict Notes
Robyn (Gregg) - I suggest you look at entries on this Website for William (Chapman) from PITT. Ann (Marsh) from LADY JULIANA & John (Irvine) from SCARBOROUGH. There is mention of a George (Chapman) working for John (Irvine) in 1823 census. Details are not exactly as you state, but I think worth a try. George, of course, cannot be son of this Ann (Chapman). I can see some more info I can provide for these people & may add it later.
New South Wales And Tasmania: Settlers And Convicts 1787-1859 has Ann Chapman and son Jacob 2yo living with Jacob Innes Windsor. Also on this female only convict ship is George Chapman b 1800 (17yo) apprenticed to John Irvine Newcastle. Trying to locate more info on George who died 1841 as a sawyer and is buried near Gosford.
As mentioned, there is an Ann in a distant branch of my tree, who may be the Ann considered here. Details are (all Yorkshire):- Thomas (Chapman) was born at Laddlegill Hawnby in 1757. He married Jane (Hildreth/Hildrith) and produced 5children. He died in Jan 1832 age85? at Hawnby. Jane (Hildeth/Hildrith) was born at Osmotherley in 1763. She died in Jan 1832 age69? at Hawnby. The children were:- 1.Ann who was born at Hawnby on 20 Sep 1790. I know more details of her, she fits our Ann only by the date of her birth. 2.Hannah who was born at hawnby on 26 Dec 1791 & died on 14 Feb 1794 age2 at Hawnby. 3.James who was born at Hawnby on6 Jun 1793 & died on 25 Jul 1794 age11m at Hawnby. 4.James who was born at Hawnby on 8 Apr 1795 & died on 1 Jan 1878 age82 at Pickering Workhouse. He had produced 3-9children with Ann (Wilkinson). 5.Jane who was born at Hawnby on 23 Jul 1798 & died in 1815? age17? at Deptford Kent. She had married Thomas (Atkinson). or died on 27 Apr 1872 age73 at Coxwold. In this version she had married Thomas (Atkinson) & produced 8children. My tree then goes back to 900s & forward to now. Jacob Innes has an entry on this Website.
Ann became a maid-was 'a notorious thief'-description of keeper York Castle & repeated by surgeon LORD MELVILLE
