Ann Hannaway arrived with 3 children - Ann married Robert Nash (Albermarle 1791). They were sent to Norfolk Island and then to VDL per 'City of Edinburgh' on 3/9/1808. I found a marriage on 18/11/1779 at Hayes, Middlesex, for Ann Hannaway to Daniel Seymour, a widower. These may have been his children, or she was married to Robert Nash in England before they were transported. Ann and Robert Nash had 4 daughters born at Norfolk Island, and also a son James Nash born 1806 who died in 1850 Tasmania. James married Sarah Kane. Robert Nash was a miller and he died in VDL 19/3/1819. Ann died 12/12/1829 at Sorell, Tasmania.

There is an Ann Hannaway listed on the Neptune 1789 and also on the Lady Juliana. Both tried Middlesex Court, 14 yr sentence. Same person? There appears to be only one Ann tried at court around this time. Old Bailey records for Ann Hannaway on 30/12/1789 for Receiving stolen goods - 14 yr sentence (tried for Burglary, with J. Happy & R. Cole on 14/1/1789 but found Not Guilty) The said ANN HANNAWAY was indicted for feloniously receiving, on the 30th of December , one linen sheet, value 3 s. one feather-holster, value 2 s. one iron footman, value 1 s. 6 d. the property of Ann Hilton ; one man's hat, value 8 s. the property of William Hilton , parcel of the afore-mentioned goods, for which John Happy and Richard Cole were convicted, knowing them to have been stolen. GUILTY . Transported for fourteen years . Tried by the second Middlesex Jury before Mr. RECORDER.

From the records it is unclear whether Ann Hannaway travelled to NSW on the Lady Juliana or the Neptune. Later musters (Archives Office of Tasmania) show her ship as the Neptune.
