Convict records for her (Tasmania)

Plenty for you to read there, including the birth of a son "Thomas" in 1849

The only Irish record (from the gaol), I found had less information that the Tasmanian records. The only thing noticed was that she was in gaol twice before.
The contemporary newspapers may give you some more information.

The CON15 record has previous offences as drunkeness several times.

Ann FELTIS is convicted for vagrancy.

These are not offences  against person or property, so I suspect that the court dealings  would be short and sharp......no names etc.

I cannot see anything in a newspaper.   

Are you wanting to research the origins of Ann FELTIS?

What do you have about her  life after her arrival in Tasmania?

From CON 15....b(rothers) Nicholas, Walter, Peter, Moses.  s(isters) Mary, Catherine.

I have everything on her in Tasmania, I was trying to help a friend find her convict details on her confinement in Ireland, she tells me Ann was sent to Grangegorman Female Prison in Dublin, I had some of her siblings but you have helped with the ones I don't have.

Thank you wivenhoe, I appreciate you input.

".. I had some of her siblings but you have helped with the ones I don't have."

If you have some, but not all, of the siblings named on the CON15 record, Tasmania, that suggests there must be another source of information about the family of Ann FELTIS.  What is this source?

The info I have comes from the friend's mother she is a 2nd great grand-daughter of Ann FELTIS, her info was passed down to her via her mother, who in turn got it from her mother.....they are trying to locate the Irish prison record for Ann FELTIS, plus any marriage or children she may have had and left behind in Ireland.

The Irish prison record is on Ancestry., but contains little information.
She was single when in prison, so 1st marriage in Tasmania. See above posts.
