Mary Ann had stolen 65 bank notes from the person of Richard Bottomore at Liverpool. She left Lancaster Castle for the ship on the 8th July 1816. On arrival Mary Ann was recorded as a servant to an Isaac Nicholls and still as a servant in 1818 and 1819. She received permission to marry gardener Cornelius Hellawell who was a very recent widower in the June of her arrival year and they married at St Phillips on the 26th June but Mary Ann was recorded as single, and in the female factory in 1820 and 21. There are no further records of her husband suggesting he either died or left the colony and by 1825, Mary Ann is noted as free and the wife of James Frith in Sydney.
