In about 1823 Thomas was assigned to the widow, Ann Terry. Ann nèe Crouch, (Convict, Mary Ann, 1813) had married Thomas Terry (Convict, Guildford, 1812). Thomas Terry died in 1823, leaving Ann with three small children and a property to manage. Ann and Thomas Collins then developed a de facto relationship and Ann had a further child, Bridget 1827. Bridget was named Terry but her father was clearly Thomas Collins.
Thomas was a native of Clontarf, Dublin Ireland and was sentenced to 7 years in 1820, aged 19.
