The birthdate stated is as given by Ken F Knight, but her Death cert indicates 1833. She arrived on the ship AUSTRALASIA 3/10/1851, age 22, as Ann Ingleton, trade - servant, along with her (likely) sister Catherine. She had emigrated from London to Hobart, under the Auspices of the Female Emigration Society. After arrival in Hobart on 9/10/1851 she was employed by Mrs. Parr, Kelso Terrace, Hobart, term 3 months, as Ann Ingledon.

She had a son to 'Benjamin Laws' whilst Gaffer was in prison. After their marriage her residences were as Gaffer's . After his death in 1876, she continued in the house and shop, William St., Westbury, until (Ref. Vals. 1885) she moved to a cottage in Westbury Rd. The surviving photo of her was taken in Balmain (Balmain photographers address on rear). It appears that she moved to Sydney during the 1880's. At her death she was living with her son John William Jones who was the informant on her death certificate. Although her Death Certificate indicates her burial at Rookwood cemetery, there is no record on SAG Rookwood Cemetery Transcriptions. The Cemeteries Trust does however have details, and although her gravesite is numbered, it has not been found.5,7,8,10,11,12 |
