Convict Notes
Sarah was convicted at Southampton Assizes for stealing 38 yds of canvas and was sentenced to 7 years transportation. Sarah married William Mortimer, also a convict from the 'Barwell', at Parramatta, Sydney, NSW in 1805. In 1811 they took into their care a two year old boy. Edward Davis was born 11 April 1809 in Sydney, NSW, the illegitimate son of Elizabeth Davis (a convict, either of the 'Speke' or the 'William Pitt') and William/Hugh Travess (a seaman who was from the ‘Speke’ when he was at Norfolk Island in 1811). He was baptised as Edward Mortimer Davis at St Matthews, Windsor on 1 September 1811. In life he used the name Edward Mortimer Travers. William and Sarah had no children of their own. The 1822 muster includes William Mortimer, his wife Sarah Webb, and a 13 year old child. William Mortimer died in 1823, and in September of the same year Sarah Mortimer applied for permission to marry a convict, Evan Evans (of the 'Elizabeth' 1820). They married on 14 October 1823 at St Peters, Campbelltown, and continued to work for Dr and Mrs Redfern at Airds until at least 1828. In the 1828 census: Evan Evans, 32, Government Servant, Elizabeth 1820, Life, Protestant, Fencer to Dr Redfern, Airds Sarah Evans, 50, free, Glatton 1802, 7 years, Protestant, Housekeeper to Mrs Redfern, Airds Evan was granted a Ticket of Leave in December 1828 partly in consideration that he had apprehended a bushranger, and a Conditional Pardon in 1837-38. Sarah presumably died between 1828 and 1865, as Evan seems to have remarried in 1865 to Elizabeth Cullen.
