Hello to a fellow Welshman! A quick Google found this web site http://mj.illallangi.com/family.php?famid=F484 Have you seen it already? Frances Williams & Robert Ryan were both on The Prince of Wales arriving Sydney 1788. Looks like she had 2 children with Robert Ryan on NI & then took up with John Cropper having another child. Two of her children ended up in Tasmania - maybe she died there.
