Oh Lesley, if I could zip back to 1832, and get hold of Sarah Norris , I'd be able to ask her how she met and married my gggrandfather Haycock James Hutton, and perhaps find out where he was born. Something I've been trying to find out for nearly thirty years!!!! Then I'd get them to walk me to the shoemakers shop they had in upper George St. Find out why they split up and how he came to W.A. Also I'd ask Sarah what happened to her daughter, that is mentioned in her trial notes. And why on earth did she think she could steal silk from her boss and fill her wardrobe full of lovely clothes unnoticed, when she was just a house keeper?? Ah what fun it all would be. Sorry you asked now Lesley? Best regards, Jan D.

Hi Jan, I just read a note I'd made that Francis Johnson of the 'Lord Melville' was one of the witnesses to Sarah and Haycock's marriage in 1832, and that Sarah was described as a widow. Do you know her maiden name? Regards, Russell
Hi Russell, No, never been able to find a maiden name for Sarah Norris. Her Old Bailey transcript describes her as married with a daughter. Then goes on to mention all sorts of family members, even addresses, which I though would lead to finding it but I haven't managed it. There is no mention of the daughter's name, which would have been handy too. Sarah was transported on the Earl of Liverpool, which had a lot of children too. So perhaps the child came to Aus with her.
