Per Paul Kenny email:
Mary Edwards, wife (ux!) of William Edwards, was born around 1766. I h ave searched high and low in Herefordshire for birth/baptismal/marriage re cords - without result.
In August 1789, both of them were arrested in Leominster where they th en lived, and charged (Hereford 9.3.1790) with stealing shoes etc from a s hop. William was acquitted, Mary sentenced to 7 years' transportation. ( It was that time in NSW history when the appeal had gone out for More Wome n, to redress the imbalance.) Mary was confined in Hereford Gaol until h er departure aboard "Mary Ann" in February 1791.
She lived with James Freeman, eventually married Abraham Martin, she r etained her first husbands name from England.
A concession given to married convict women who were effectively trans ported to exile for the rest of their lives.
On her arrival in 1790 she gave her age as 27yrs old
Noted events in her life were:
• Transported: Mary was confined in Hereford Gaol until her departure aboard "Mary Ann", 16 Feb 1791.
• Transported: Mary Ann - Arrived 9 June 1791, 9 Jun 1791.
