Joanna left Harpford and reached London. On 22-1-1856 Joanna Carter, aged 25 years, married Hugh McRuden, aged about 47 years, at St Olave, Southwark, London. How they met is still a mystery but Hugh had certainly had a 'colourful' life. Born in Donegal, Ireland, he had joined the 58th Regiment. Whilst stationed at Chatham, after a trial when he was accused of rape, in 1845 on the convict ship Mount Stewart Elphinstone he had been deported to Van Dieman's Land - Tasmania, Australia. In 1851 he obtained his Certificate of Freedom and subsequently returned to England. By 1866 Hugh and Joanna were living in Tasmania, Australia. From 1874 Hugh held the licence of the Sportsman Hall Hotel, Launceston. In 2009 this establishment still trades under the same name.
