Mary Stubbins
« on: Wednesday 20 September 17 03:17 BST (UK) »
Could someone please assist.

I am seeking information regarding a convict sent to New South Wales, Australia. Specifically, what was her crime?

Known so far: Convict - Mary Stubbins. b: 28/4/1759 in Exter, Devon. bp: 26/1/1766 in St George, East, Middlesex.
She was convicted of a crime on the 30/7/1789 in an Assizes Court in Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and transported to Australia for 7 years.
She departed Portsmouth on the 16/2/1791 aboard the ship "Mary Ann" as part of the "3rd Fleet" arriving in the Colony on the 9/7/1791. Mary later married William Thorn on 30 Jul 1794 in Sydney.

She certainly got around  ;D

Northampton Mercury 08 August 1789
Convicted of stealing 8 guineas in the house of her Master
Ordered to be transported for 7 years

Derby Mercury 30 July 1789 
'Eight guineas and two half guineas out of the house of John Duckmanton'

It looks as though the name of her Master was John Duckmanton  ;D
