Ann Holmes was born about 1815 at Dronfield, Derbyshire , England . She was baptized in St. John The Baptist Dronfield 10^th September, 1815. She was the daughter of Josiah Holmes and Harriet Reaney.

Ann was tried at Lancaster on 7^th. January 1833 for Larceny by a servant and sentenced to be transported for 7 years. The trial records for the Palatinate of Lancaster no longer

Survive, with the exception of murder cases, so investigation into where Ann was living and working at the time of her conviction is impossible. To have been tried at Lancaster we must assume that she committed her crime somewhere in the county of Lancaster and records show she was held at Salford Gaol so perhaps this is the area in which she was working.

Ann worked as a house laundry maid and was 5’2” tall with a dark complexion, dark brown hair and brown eyes. Her transportation records give a full description of her and her offence which was given as ‘stealing wearing apparel and other articles’.

She was transported on the “William Bryan” which sailed from London on the 4^th. July 1833 and arrived in Hobart on 23^rd. October 1833.

Ann died at O’Briens Bridge on the 18^th April 1878 of pneumonia. She was given as a farmer’s wife and was buried at St. Paul ’s Glenorchy under an assumed name of Harriet Ann Tilyard.
