Convict Notes
Ann had stolen over £300 of bank notes and bank post bills from a pocket book with a John Wainwright belonging to an R.Mills. She had previously been acquitted of a similar crime. The newspaper's said 'her character was of the worst description'. Whilst in jail at Lancaster Castle, her description was taken as follows: born at Sutton in the Forest near York, very pale complexion, hazel eyes, brown hair, pitted with the smallpox, has lost two front teeth upper jaw and several others, two moles left shoulder blade, scar lower left arm near elbow, little finger left hand has a cut, has been in the New Bailey lockups, husband Thomas Wilson already in New South Wales (for two years). Ann travelled with her child and on arrival was said to have been well behaved in jail. She was rerimanded in 1827 for absenting herself from her master's house and for neglect of duty. This was soon after followed by her being absent and drunk and earned Ann a three month trip to the female factory at Geortgetown; two weeks of which was to be on bread and water. In 1829 she was again sent to the factory for three months for neglect of duty and whilst there, she was sent to the crime class for willfully cutting up a factory-issued petticoat belonging to another prisoner. Ann died on the 2nd December 1832, aged 33 at Hobart Hospital. She was buried the following day.
