Mary, from Manchester, had stolen two gold coins. An order from 27/5/1801 shows Mary Peach along with Elizabeth Thompson and Ellen Storrs were given £2, 13 shillings for clothing and it cost £47, 5 shillings for transporting them from Lancaster Castle to Spithead where they went onboard the Nile. By 1806, Mary is noted as the wife of carpenter Samuel Harris (also known as James Douce Harris) (ship- Coromandel 1), they had married in November 1804 at St Philips Sydney and she held a ticket of leave. In April 1807, Mary advertised the sale by auction of her brick and shingle house in South Row with a well and garden. In May 1808, they advertised as a couple for anyone with any debts outstanding to make contact as they were shortly to leave the colony and in September of that year they made a final request as they were boarding the Santa Anna. The Santa Anna left Port Jackson in October 1808; going to the 'sealing isles' (Bounty Islands) for seal skins then onto England where she arrived at Deal, Kent the 13th July 1809.
