Biography: Mary was the wife of Edward Huntingdon. They were from Liverpool though Mary had potentially been born at Preston.
Mary was initially sent to the female factory but by 1817 was out and she had a ticket of leave and was single, at Sydney. 1818 she is simply recorded as a servant. 1820 and 21 say just that she was single at Sydney. However, confusingly- all this is thrown into disarray as there is also a death record for Mary Huntingdon (aged 35) of the Mary Ann 1816, who died in June 1818 and was buried in the Old Sydney Burial Ground. Why then did Mary appear on three successive musters? Sadly, Mary’s record remains confused for now.
