Convict Notes
She was tried at the New Bayley Court House, Salford on the 21/7/1818. She stole woollen cloth at Manchester, property of John Flint. Her accomplice, Ann Burne got 14 days imprisonment (1). The order book says she was wife of James Knowland of Manchester. (2) Mary Ann, wife of James Knowland of Manchester, had stolen woollen cloth from a John Flint along with an Ann Burne (who got 14 days imprisonment). She travelled with her 15 month year old son, William. Mary Ann was sent to the female factory on arrival. Four months after arrival, she applied to marry a William Hall (ship- Earl Spencer) at Parramatta, who was twenty years her senior. The family can be seen in the Parramatta population book for 1822 and they have a seven month old baby, also Ann, along with William. This marriage is short, William passed away in August 1823 and Ann then married Thomas Greenbank (ship- Tottenham) in December the same year. Tragically Ann then died in June 1824. By April 1825, with both parents dead, eight year old William entered the male orphan school and Ann, presumably met the same fate, as she died aged 17 in the female orphan school at Parramatta.
