Convict Notes
At the Quarter Sessions, which commenced at the New Bailey Court-house, Salford, yesterday week, the following prisoners have taken their trials, and been sentenced as under: be transported 14 years.— ... ; Mary Taylor, (24), calico from Messrs. Coates and Glendening; ... Manchester Mercury, 30 Oct 1821.
Mary received two pieces of printed calico, property of Thomas Coates & Alexander Glendining at Manchester. The thief of said items (Jonathan Whittaker, got two years imprisonment at Lancaster). Mary had already had a past conviction at Salford from 1817. Whilst in jail at Lancaster her description was taken; she was born at Congleton (Cheshire), she had a rather fair complexion, hazel eyes and brown hair. Her husband was a boatman on the Manchester Canal; he had been confined in the New Bailey for two years. She was put onboard ship on the 30th August. In the 1825 muster, Mary was a general servant at Parramatta to John Ellison. On 31st December 1827, Mary was sent to the 3rd class of the female factory for insolence and repeated absence. In 1828, as a servant to a George Howell, she was sent to the Criminal Court for having stolen goods on her person. She was forwarded to the Parramatta Magistrates in January Mary applied to marry Lancastrian John Moor(e)/s (ship- Morley 1) at St John's Parramatta in June 1830, but this marriage was not permitted to go ahead as Mary had already declared herself married when she had arrived. At this time Mary was assigned to William Walker at Parramatta who had agreed to the marriage. Either way, they found a way to convince the authorities that Mary was in fact, free to marry or they somehow went ahead anyway, and the couple married at St Johns the next month.
