Emma was born 1817 in Southwark, London we think. Although in all of her Australian records it mentions Plymouth, England we can find no records of this. Their is a Emma born to a Edward and a Hannah in St George the Martyr in Southwark though. The name Hannah was named as one of Emma's daughters! Emma was transported to Tasmania in 1834 for stealing. She was a farm servant according to her conviction records. She also had the name James Wells (a convict already deported to Tasmania) tattooed on her arm. She stole a clock along with three other girls hoping to join their gentleman friend convicts in Tasmania. I suspect Emma had siblings. If you can find a connection to my Emma please drop me a line!
