Biographies
Ann Baldwin was a 17-year-old English servant who was convicted of grand larceny. She was sent to Newgate prison whilst awaiting trial for the crime of stealing from her employer, a Mister John Turner.
On the 30th October 1805, she was tried by the First Middlesex Jury before Lord Ellenborough, at the Old Bailey. Her younger sister Mary was tried alongside her, having allegedly received the stolen goods. During the trial, the question was raised why Ann's mother was not the one indicted, as it seemed obvious to the court that Ann and Mary were only following their mother's instructions. The reason stated was that their mother had a dying infant she was caring for and since arresting her daughters, the mother had since run away. In her mother’s defense, Ann stated that when she had asked how she had come by the items she had told her mother that the lady had given them to her.
The stolen items were listed in Ann's trial transcript. The items stolen on 8th of September were: a shift, value 3 s; a petticoat, value 3 s; a habit-shirt, value 4 s; a pair of shoes, value 2 s 6 d; two pair of stockings, value 3 s; a comb, value 3 s; a handkerchief, value 6 d and a piece of cloth, value 1 s. The total value of items stolen amounted to £1. Ann was convicted and sentenced to seven years’ beyond the seas, whilst her younger sister Mary, was acquitted of the charge.
Ann Baldwin was one of the convicts embarked on the Sydney Cove, a 282-ton vessel that was built at Rotterdam, Denmark in 1803. This ship sailed directly to the Colony of New South Wales, from Falmouth, England on the 11th January 1807 carrying 4 male and 113 female convicts. The voyage lasted 158 days and after arriving into the colony this ship became a successful sealer. Three female fatalities were recorded during the voyage. Ann arrived at Port Jackson on the 18th of June 1807.
Ann Baldwin married James Timmins on the 6th of September 1807 at St. Philip, Church of England, Sydney. They were married by banns. Henry Fulton was the presiding Minister and the marriage certificate shows both their marks (X).
The following year they welcomed their first child, a son, Michael into their family. Ann and James Timmins had a large family of 13 children, the last being born in 1831 when Ann was 43. All children were born on their farm at Yarramundi Lagoon, Windsor NSW.
