  The short convict record of HANNAH O'MALEY
  O'Maley was tried at the Central Criminal Court, found guilty of Larceny (receiving stolen goods) and sentenced to 7 years Transportation, arriving at Van Diemen's Land in July 1847 along with 169 other female convicts aboard "Asia". Married, but deserted by her husband, the notes include the remarkable information that 5 of her 7 children were on board the ship with her. The Surgeon's Report consisted of one word: "Indifferent". A year later she is recorded as being "absent without leave" and a sentence of 4 months hard labour was imposed. She served 4 sentences of hard labour at the Cascades Female Factory. In her sixties Hannah was admitted to the New Town Pauper Establishment; in 1883 she was released to the care of her daughter, dying the following year, in 1884, aged 72.
