Convict Notes
Recorded on the Muster records 1802, 1806 and 1811. In the 1806 Muster Mary is listed as wife of 'Joseph Kearns'. Joseph was a convict, Sugar Cane 1793. It is not known when this de facto relationship started. I can locate no children to the couple. They may have commenced the union on the ship when they were transported or even in Ireland before. They were both tried for stealing various materials in 1792 at Dublin, she in July and he in September. In the 1811 Muster there is no mention of any union with Kearns and by 1814 she is no longer mentioned at all. Kearns had by then married to Elizabeth Ready.
