Mary RAYCROFT - abt. 1789
« on: Tuesday 27 September 05 10:18 BST (UK) »
Mary RAYCROFT was born in Berkshire, England abt. 1789. 

Her mother's name was Elizabeth.

Mary RAYCROFT arrived as a convict in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia on 11 April 1806 onboard the 'William Pitt'.

I was wondering if anyone could help me find details of her birth and/or her parents?

Best Wishes,

According to the list of convicts on the William Pitt,
Raycraft, Mary had been tried at Middlesex  on the 3rd Dec 1804.

I haven't yet found that trial but she had been previously charged with stealing a shirt on 24 Oct 1804 (same year) and had been found not guilty.  Her accomplice was not so lucky.  Here is the record of her first  trial at the Old Bailey:

It appears there are quite a few other people researching Mary.  Here is the relevent page from "Claim a Convict".  You might want to contact the people listed there.
