Hello and Happy St David's Day from Wales.   Is there anyone out there who knows whether they are descended from SARAH EVANS or GRACE JONES both from Denbighshire, tried Quarter Sessions 1786 and whose names appear on the lists for the Second Fleet?    Generous Listers have helped me with looking up records and relevant books, but some confusion remains and really it can only be solved if there are descendants from the women in Australia (or here).   They were tried on the same day and both sentenced to seven years' transportation.  They spent time in Ruthin Gaol, as the gaol records show, and were still there 1789.   Some books say they were pardoned and never left Wales; a pardon does exist. Other books say Sarah Evans (Neptune, Denbighshire, tried 1786) married James Stewart/d at Parramatta 1791 and there is a record in the register to this effect.   So - any descendants, please?  I am not a relative, but researching into some women prisoners from the gaol and soI am able to offer some info about their experiences of the British legal system in return.   Thank you very much.   Chris
