Norwich was the breeding ground for revolutionary ideas that led to American and French independence, but it was also the breeding ground of criminals who were part of the new colony in New South Wales. Beginning with four convicts on the First Fleet, the Norwich convicts continued with the Second and Third Fleets. Ann was part of this third shipment. The entwining characters that came into her life are examined and the events that shaped her life are explained. Ann moved from Sydney to what was the frontier of the colony, the Hawkesbury River region. It is the home of the local Dharug people, and the colonial wars that were occurring are examined. Ann’s extended family have been researched and their lives are also explored.
