Biography
Anne (Allen) Connor was a convict after the Third Fleet transported to Van Diemen's Land
Anne Allen was 17 years old when she was tried in Clare on 16 October 1849 together with her sister Eliza[1] and found guilty of the crime of cow stealing (two cows and a heifer). She received a sentence of seven years transportation[2] and was incarcerated at Grangegorham Female Prison in Dublin prior to her journey[3].
Anne travelled to Van Diemen's Land, together with her sister Eliza, on board the Duke of Cornwall arriving on 27 October 1850. Anne's conduct report from prison and on board ship was good. Anne was Catholic and could read. Her trade was servant and she was described as being five feet 1 3/4 inches tall with a fresh complexion, large oval face, dark brown hair, hazel eyes and large chin. Anne had no distinguishing marks.[4]
In December 1850 Anne was sentenced to fourteen days in the cells for disobeying orders.[4] She spent several portions of her sentence at the Female Factory in Launceston.
In December 1852 Anne obtained permission to marry Patrick Connor[5],a fellow convict. The marriage took place on 7 February 1853. Patrick was described as "ticket of leave", she was "prisoner"[6]. In July 1853 Anne was found guilty once again of disorderly conduct and was sentenced to ten days in the cells.[4]
Anne obtained her ticket of leave in May 1854 and her certificate of freedom (granted in Launceston) on 21 November 1856.[4]
Research Notes
Ancestry Public Member Family Trees (unsourced) claim that Anne came from Killaloe in County Clare. They also state that Patrick died in Brunswick, Victoria, in 1892 (unsourced) and that he and Anne had a daughter called Mary Bridget Connor who was born in Launceston on 28 December 1857.
