LIFE AT PARRAMATTA Ann and William Bellamy had four children: 1798 - James Zadock Bellamy. Died 1785 1800 - Sarah (m Clack, Howarth), Died 1782 1803 - John died 1873 1807 - Charlotte died 1811. In July 1801 they were living on 100acres, with 19 cleared and under cultivation of maize. In 1802, 24 acres were cleared, with 20 acres wheat and 4 acres of maize planned. they had 16 hogs in total. In August 1804 this land was officially granted to William, in the district of Dundas. In August 1806 he was renting a further 5 acres, at the Field of Mars and employing convict John Penrow per "Rolla". Of his total 130 acres farmed, he had sown 11 acres of wheat, 10 of maize and 4 of barley as well as potatoes and a 1 acre orchard and garden. There were 9 sheep in total and 12 hogs in total. His wife and FOUR children were off stores. this means that Ann's son - William Lellis, aged 9 - was alive and living with the family. The 1814 Census recorded William Bellamy as a landholder; mustered at Parramatta, and Ann now Free, as his wife with two children off the stores. This implies that Ann's son William (17), together with James (16) and Sarah (14) were living elsewhere. In the 1822 muster Ann and William were still living on their 100 acre grant, with 30 acres under wheat, plus maize, oats and potatoes growing and their orchard. Ann's family did well in NSW. Their son James Bellamy was given his own land grant in 1816, and again in 1824. James married quite young in 1818 to Hannah Singleton (she died in 1869, registered Parramatta). They had many children: Charlotte in 1819, Susannah in 1821, William in 1822, James jnr in 1823 (died Parramatta "aged 25" in 1852), Mary in 1825, Caroline in 1827, Ann in 1831, Sarah in 1832, Elizabeth in 1834, James in 1826 and Joseph in 1840. In 1837 James, (aged 28), had three convicts assigned to him. Ann & William's daughter Sarah married also in 1818, on 27 July, to Henry Clack or Clarke, convict per 'Admiral Gambier' . Neither could sign their name on the marriage register of St John's Parramatta. She was aged 18, and henry 25. In the 1828 census they had two children, John B 1824 and Henry B 1826. There were also Sarah B 8 April 1829, father recorded at her baptism as a farmer at Pennant Hills; William B 17 November 1831 who died same year as a little baby - his father Henry was recorded in St John's register as a sawyer of Pennant Hills. Jane B 1833, father Henry recorded as a farmer of Pennant Hills, (Jane married aged 15 to Wm Buckley; Anne B 21 January 1836 (Father Henry recorded as a sawyer of Pennant Hills) ; Mary Anne B 25 January 1838 and another William B 3 October 1841, (Henry recorded as a farmer for the last two children. Henry Clarke had died by 1844, when Sarah married again (age 43) to Benjamin Howarth. Their son, James Howarth, was born the same year, 1844. Ann Bellamy, nee Irish Convict Ann Foy / Fay Died at Pennant Hills in 1843, living to see all this extended family and her family's prosperity.
Ann Fay's marriage occurred in July 1797, seventeen months after she arrived. Prior to that, one year after her arrival in NSW, Ann Fay gave birth to a child who she recorded as the son of Stephen Lellis. He was born on 18 February 1797, and baptised at St John's Church, Parramatta by Rev Samuel Marsden. The child was named WIlliam, and appears as William Fay and also William Lellis. (Possibly Stephen Lellis was in the Marine Corps, as he does not appear as a convict). Before her own marriage, she was the witness (with John Sullivan) to the marriage of Bridget O'Donnell and Thomas McCabe at Parramatta on 15 May 1797. The bride, Bridget O'Donnell, had also been tried at Dublin, just a few months after Ann, in July 1795. both had sailed together as convicts on "Marquis Cornwallis". Both were probably sent up to Parramatta on arrival. The man Ann married on 10 July 1797, was Richard BELLAMY (recorded as "Belmey" in the Parramatta Marriage register for St John's). He was the Wm Bellamy convict per "Active" in 1791 who had been tried in 1789 at the Old Bailey for stealing 6 pairs of leather shoes and sentenced to 7 years' transportation.

The indent of the Marquis Cornwallis, departed Ireland 1795, arrived February 1796, recorded her as "Ann Fay or Foy". Catherine Byrne appears not to have been transported.
