TRANSCRIBER’S NOTES: Other colonial records confirm that ANN McCUE per Wanstead (1814) was in fact ANN McHUGH, the wife of Irish convict DENNIS McHUGH per Providence I (1811) (variant spellings of this surname included McHUE, McCUE, McHUGH etc). The couple married at St. John’s Church, Parramatta on 25 January 1818, with ANN’s surname given as ‘ANN MACNAMARA.’ There was no convict on board the Wanstead (1814) with that name, but it is possible ANN was the Limerick-born Irish woman who was transported per Wanstead (1814) and whose name was recorded at the Old Bailey, London on 2 December 1812, in the convict indents and Certificate of Freedom records as ANN MACDEMAW / M’DEMAW. Note, too, that the name McDERMOND may be a more accurate spelling of the name recorded in the primary sources as MACDEMAW. Further research required.
