When she was transported, leaving London on the 30th of October 1850, she could read but not write, and her conduct on the Emma Eugenia (4) as she travelled to Australia was called "fair." She claimed she was single when she left, and said she was a Presbyterian. Agnes married William Wilson, "free," on the 9th of May 1852, in Hamilton Parish Church, her age listed as 24, his as 28. In May 1855, her son William Wilson was born. That very same year, she got a conditional pardon, and it seems she upped and left.
