Convict Notes
Anne O'Donnell was aged 50 at the end of 1810. She was put on board the Providence but the Muster prepared at Cove had her name struck through in pen with the words "Sent to Cork Jail". Secretary Thomas Campbell made note of this in Sydney in a note attached to the muster on arrival. She was probably removed for being too ill or unfit to make the journey to NSW. She had been found guilty at the Clonmel Assizes, Co Tipperary in the week Mon 31 July - Fri 4 August 1809 "of stealing wearing apparel, value 11s, the property of Denis Bray". and sentenced to 7 years.
