Biography: Ann had stolen a bonnet at Manchester, property of Mr Rayner. She was married to Charles Stott and came from Manchester. In the description taken of her in Lancaster Castle, she said she was born in the army but belongs to Salford. Her husband was a joiner in Manchester. She had a sallow complexion, was rather slender with brown eyes, dark brown hair and had lost several of her teeth. She had four children, two of whom were living and one was in the army.

In 1824, she was now stated as a widowed bobbin winder and a very old offender but in good health. In August 1827, Ann herself wrote a petition to the judges at the assizes asking for her freedom. She had served six years and five months. She stated she was now 60, in poor health and had a comfortable place to go to if pardoned. The letter reads that Ann was indeed ill and somewhat confused. The pardon was granted and she was discharged 23rd September 1827.
