JOHN ROOKE . I am a seaman . On Saturday three weeks I went into Elizabeth Shaw 's house, Newtoner's court, St. Martin's lane ; Ann Gibbons asked me up stairs; I went with her and gave her two shillings to be with her; I laid my tobacco box on the table, which had thirteen pound in it; previous to my going to bed Catherine Mason came and knocked at the door; and Ann Gibbons made an excuse to go to the door; she said that there was somebody wanted her; she went from the bed towards the table and took the box off the table; I came up with her at the landing place, she was puzzled a little to open the box; she took out a two pound note and a one pound note out of the box, and gave them to Catherine Mann over her shoulder; Catherine Mann ran down stairs so I held Ann Gibbons in custody till a constable came, and then I gave charge of her. I told him that the one that had run away was a carrotty woman; he found her. I am sure they are the women. Q. Did you ever get your notes - A. No. I told Ann Gibbons if she would give me the two pound note I would say no more about it. Gibbons's Defence. He laid hold of the bed clothes and shoved them out of the window; I told him to go out of my room; he broke the things about the room. Mann's Defence. I lived next door to her; this woman cried out murder several times; he had hold of her by the hair of her head, in the door way, when I first saw her; I said do not kill the woman; he hit me on my head and on my shoulder; I innocently and foolish enough came to take her part. It is the first time I was brought before any gentleman in my life. GIBBONS, GUILTY , aged 20. MANN, GUILTY , aged 40. Transported for Seven Years . First Middlesex jury, before Mr. Recorder. https://www.oldbaileyonline.org/browse.jsp?div=t18080914-111
I believe that Ann lived with Abraham Whittaker after John Vernal died. I have not found a marriage and Abraham had a marriage record in England before he was transported. I do not believe they had children. Can someone confirm any information they may have. Are my assumptions correct?
