TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES: ANN SMITH was a free woman, noted in the census as ‘B.C.’ [born in the Colony]. In September 1826 she had been tried alongside two men, charged with the capital offence of highway robbery. ANN SMITH was found guilty, but her co-accused were found not guilty. Sentence of death was recorded against her name, but this was evidently commuted to a life sentence instead, which she was serving in confinement at the Parramatta Female Factory two years later when the Census was taken.
