[dpaton]

Looking for information on who Ann Robertson was before she was convicted in Glasgow on 1st May 1819 and transported on the Janus.  Would like to find out who her parents were and where she was born.

A Tree has her born c 1790 Scotland, died 21 AUG 1871 • Hyde Park Asylum
George died 1844
His death is on NSW BMD but cant find Ann to confirm her age.

This would help with a search in Scotland for her.

A Ann Tallentire married John Logan 1845
May be her or a Daughter?

This is what the National Records of Scotland has on her.

Find My Past has some decent convict records which might be worth looking up.

When did Ann die?  Would her death certificate give names of her parents?

Trove has a death notice in The Sydney Morning Herald for Ann Tallentine who died 21 Aug 1871 aged 95 (giving a birth of around 1776).

Might this be your Ann?

Added: It might be worth looking at the names of her children in case she followed the Scottish naming pattern. This may give some clues.
