Biography: Ann had stole £3 17 shilling from a James Gleeson, along with John Hoddy (who got 14 years, ship- Commodore Hayes). Ann had been born at Manchester and was described as rather tall with a sallow complexion, grey eyes, dark brown hair, a scar on the first joint of left thumb and a burn mark on right forefinger. This was her second conviction for a felony. Ann and the other six Lancaster women, arrived onboard ship with the women from Preston on the 30th August 1822.

Ann’s convict record is entirely blank in Tasmania. On arrival, she was assigned to Mr Reid/ at the hospital. With no further records on Ann at all, it seems possible that she died very soon after arriving in Tasmania.
