Biography: Ann was the wife of James Clough of Manchester. She stole from the premises of Benjamin Rolfe & Co, paper manufacturers and printers. She was sentenced with Thomas and John Clough (possibly her relatives?) and was sent as part of a group of 15 prisoners to Lancaster Castle.

Upon arrival she was sent to the female factory from where she escaped in 1818. In 1821, she was a witness to the marriage of her Broxbornebury ship-mate and female factory friend Ann Lord and again was a witness for Margaret Proctor in 1823. The 1825 and 1828 muster shows her a free by servitude and living with Thomas Bond, a free landholder at Wilberforce as a housekeeper. Ann got her certificate of freedom the same year, she was described therein as aged 41, brown hair, fair complexion, blue eyes and 5ft tall and her trade was a cotton spinner. Ann later lived on Main St, Richmond and died in June 1843, and is buried at St Peter’s Anglican Cemetery, Richmond under the mis-pelling ‘Cluff’.
