Hi everyone, i am descended from Narcissa Bracher, (b. Dec.1806) who was Martha Bracher's (b. 1783) daughter and so i think Mary Bracher grand daughter. I have read, with interest, all the different research material that people have found about her conviction and transportation in 1807, following a trial in July 1806 involving Mary, her husband George Bracher and daughter Martha Bracher (who was pregnant with Narcissa at the time).
I cannot understand why Mary, the mother/wife was transported and George the husband and her daughter Martha were spared (discharged by bill). I see Mary went on to build a new life for herself and remarry (as a widow?!) and I am pleased to see her family continued to thrive back in England.
If, as the original post was over a year ago, anyone has found anything further about the family in Australia or the one left behind in Stourton Wiltshire, i should be grateful to read it. Thank you.
