Convict Notes
Ann was convicted of larceny (theft) at the Lancaster Quarter Sessions held at Salford New Bayley on 23/1/1805. She had stolen (uncertain transcription, but likely) 'diaper' [in the 18th/early 19th century this referred to a fabric type (printed cotton or linen with rhomboid shapes rather than anything to do with babies nappies/diapers]. She was sent to Lancaster Castle to await transportation.
Last week, the following female convicts were re- moved from Lancaster Castle, and put on board the ship- Alexander, lying at Long Reach, near Gravesend, bound to New South Wales; viz. Sarah Moss, Elizabeth Brooks, Ann Webb, Elizabeth Buffey, Elizabeth Peterson, and Martha Ogden. Lancaster Gazette, 21 Dec 1805.
