7 females.
In the right hand margin past the last column is written age unknown and there are several date stamps the most recent being 2003.
There is conflicting statements on this document.
Ann's father Joseph Eggins was born in Devonshire, his wife and his children were all born in Ireland as heywood found and as family had thought.
Ann was actually married twice the first when she was 16yrs old. Her husband died 15 years later. She had had several children in those years. She married Richard Peel, the very next year. They had only two sons. and according to the Asylum records she was living with him.
He is on the Queensland Electoral Roll for that time at the exact address given on the Asylum records.
Also it is impossible for her to have been in Australia for 40 yrs. It just does not add up.
Hope the above is what you were hoping to see and thanks for helping.
