Biography: Ann had £28 of forged £1 bank notes in her possession at Newchurch (Rossendale) and her sister over 200. [Despite the same names and location, this was a different Ann to the other Ann Lord from Newchurch at same trial, though they may well have been related]. Ann’s sister Mary was released without charge but Ann received a death sentence, immediately commuted to 14 years transportation.

In August of the same year, after six months in Lancaster Castle, Ann received a pardon for her crime and was immediately freed.
