Sarah Emma Curren was born about 1805 accordingy to her age at death. The nearest I can come to is one convict born 1793, that was in New South Wales am still following up on that. The strange thing is nothing on how she arrived in Tas.
She MAY have been transported from Ireland. In 1847 there is a record for a ‘Sarah Curran’in the Irish Prison Registers 1790-1924 for imprisonment at Wicklow Prison for ‘Breaking windows in the house’. There is also a record of Sarah Curren (note spelling) being transported to Hobart on the ‘Waverley’. Sentence 7 years. Convicted at Monaghan In 1850, record in ‘Victoria Marriages 1836-1942’ for marriage of ‘Sarah Curren’ (note spelling) to Ephraim (Aphram) Folley (#933 and #40924). Ephraim Folley was transported to Port Arthur in 1835 (14 years for stealing lead), and obtained ticket of leave in 1844 She died at Chewton, Victoria in 1900 .. Ephraim at Ascot Vale, Victoria
