Convict Notes
Mary Ann Morgan, married name Stewart, was previously convicted at Edinburgh Sherriff's Court 4th January 1843 with William Walker. She was convicted on the 5th Nov 1845 at the High Court with William Walker and James McGuier. She had no occupation and lived at Toddricks Wynd. 14 year old William was a nailer who lived at Toddricks Wynd. He was sent to Parkhurst and subsequently to WA under the Parkhurst scheme, pre convict era in WA. 19 year old James McGuier (previously convicted as McGuire) was a dyer living at High Street, Edinburgh. Toddricks Wynd is actually given as High Street on the census. He was sent to Justitia Hulk and then I can't track him. The crime was theft from Catherine Kerr, wife of John Kerr, of Lady Lawsons Wynd, which took place in Hunter Square. Not much about it in the papers except that Mary Ann produced her grandmother, Catherine McGill as a character witness who claimed to be 109 (Witness Edingburh, 8th Nov 1845). This probably makes her the Mary Ann Morgan born to Hugh Morgan and Catherine McGill in Edinburgh on the 11th Jan 1825 and baptised at St Mary's Catholic Cathedral on the 15th. I can't find a marriage to a man named Stewart - I picked up the first name David from an other convict site.
