Hi,
My name is Janice and my friend's ancestor was called Hannah Pealing and she was a convict, sent to Norfolk Island and dying there in 1799. She had a daughter, and after Hannah's death, the child and the father of the child, also a convict (I think his name was Steven Martin) were sent to Tasmania. Would there be a record of her burial anywhere and does anyone have any further information about Hannah. Many thanks.

Hi Janice,
Yes Hannah PEELING was indicted for stealing a silver seal valued @ 5 Shillings...the property of Duncan Ross..her trial can be found at old-bailey online
Transported on board the Lady Jullianna to Port Jackson, arriving there 3rd June 1790
Sent to Norfolk Island, just eight weeks later, arriving at Norfolk Island 7th August.
Hannah aged 22 was married to Stephen MARTIN aged 44 on the 5th November 1791 by the Rev Richard Johnson.
A daughter Mary Ann was born to the Couple 12th November 1793..
Hannah died on Norfolk Island 27th August 1799..she has no known burial site...her death registered in N.S.W. B.D.Ms as Hannah PEELING

Steven MARTIN and daughter Mary Ann left Norfolk Island for Tasmania on the 3rd September 1808

cheers
