Biography: In August 1802, Ann and eight other women were taken from Lancaster Castle and taken to Chatham to board the Glatton.

Ann got her certificate of freedom in 1812 and appears to have remained single, living and working as a housekeeper quite successfully (bar being attacked by two other women in 1826 when her face in court was described as having ‘an unfortunate visage with dreadful marks showing the outrage she had received’ and that she ‘was a helpless and almost worn-out female’). By the 1830s she started having a number of run-ins with the police, largely due to alcohol. In 1831 she was involved in a long time feud with a neighbour and threw a pan of boiling water over her neck and head and was sent to the quarter sessions. In 1832, Ann was found drunk and disorderly- singing and bawling at night time and sent to stocks and the paper demonstrates her quick wit as she parried back and forth in court with her insults to the prosecutor and constable. In the same year she was also sent to ‘gently grill in the sun for four hours’ in the Sydney look out for further night time disturbances. In 1833 after a further crime and 2 weeks in jail, paid the £10 bail. In 1835 she spent another week in jail. In 1836 Ann committed and further crime and paid bail. In 1837 Ann spent four months in jail and then paid bail. Finally in 1839 she was locked up for another month. She was described (in 1836) as 4ft 11, slender, fresh faced, brown hair and hazel eyes.
