My GGG G/F Robert Waterworth arrived in Port Jackson on the Agamemnon in 1821. He later married MARY HAYES.
Mary HAYES was tried & convicted at Lancaster (Wigan Bow) Quarter Sessions on the 6th May 1822. She was sentenced to 7 years transported for the crime of Larceny. She was 31 years old. She left England from Woolwich 11th September 1822 on the ship ‘Lord Sidmouth’, James Ferrier, Master & Robert Espie, Surgeon, making it's 3rd voyage to the colony & arrived in Hobart, Van Diemans Land 10th Feb 1823.
Dr. Trudy Cowley of Research Tasmania (Uni of Tasmania) believes that Mary landed in Hobart on 10th Feb 1823 where the Lord Sidmouth landed some 50 female convicts before it then sailed to Port Jackson landing 46 females.
Dr. Cowley quotes that-
“On 24th March 1823, Mary HAYES was reported by ‘Fryett’ Absent from her masters premises without leave –Reprimanded (Rev.RK)”
“On 7th May 1823 (Fryett) Absent from her masters premises without leave for the last fortnight, bread & water 1 week and after to be confined in the factory (AWHH & Rev.RK)”. This factory would have been Hobart Female Factory next to the old Gaol in Macquarie St.
It would seem that she was shipped to Port Jackson with some others after this date as she sought permission to marry at Parramatta on December 7 1824.
Do you have any information on Mary regarding her stay in Hobart or her subsequent trip to Port Jackson?
