Hannah was a single woman from Manchester who had stolen silk handkerchiefs at Heaton Norris from a William Haddlestone along with Catherine Williams who she was tried and transported alongside of. Hannah had already served a month in jail for stealing another silk handkerchief the year before. They left Lancaster Castle for Spithead and boarded Experiment in the last days of November 1803. Hannah was first recorded in the female factory at Parramatta in 1806- she had had a child, also Hannah, that December with James Connolly (ship- Atlas). By January 1810, Hannah was free by servitude and in 1812 had another daughter, Elizabeth with James. By 1814 she was noted as wife to James at Windsor and they had two children. Muster records get very confused about where Hannah was after this time and variously record her as wife to James Connolly in 1816, in 1817 as single. In 1819 as married, dead in 1820 and a widow in 1820 (recorded twice) and in 1821 as having left the colony. Finally, in 1825 she is once again recorded as wife to James Connolly at Richmond. This confusion is likely because the couple do not appear to have formally married. In 1828, the couple are recorded still at Richmond with their younger daughter Elizabeth and farming flax on their land. Hannah died in early July 1833 and was buried on the 5th July at St Peters Anglican Cemetery at Richmond, aged around 57.
