Ross, thanks for that. I'll change it on my tree. Since I posted about Ann McArdle and Michael Beven, I've found four more daughters after Eliza: Georgina Mary (26 July 1863, married Thos Jones (b 1863) on 27 Oct 1886 @ Oatlands; Winifred (28 Sept 1867); Theresa (14 Jan 1870) and Mary Claire (29 Sept 1875, married Donald Smith from Gundagai on 28 Jan 1914 in Hobart.

Ann McArdle/McArdall (b 1836) married Michael Beven (1815 Nenagh Tipperary - 7 Dec 1890 Oatlands, Tas) as his second wife on 9 July 1861 and they had one daughter, Eliza, on 5 May 1862. Michael Beven was transported for 10 years for housebreaking, arriving VDL on the Ratcliffe on 30 August 1845. Hope this is of some help.

I forgot to add that Mary Stanaway Williamson Osborne Latham died on 10 Dec 1875 in Franklin Tas - I have a photo of her grave - and John remarried. His second wife was Mary O'Neill (1832-16 Nov 1902?) on 8 Sept 1880. John died in Hobart on 12 April 1885 and although he is not on the headstone is, I believe, buried in the same grave as Mary Stanaway at St John's Anglican Church in Franklin. I am in contact with descendants of John and Mary's daughter, Mary Ann Latham Hogan, and have photos of her.

If Kaye Donaher is in Tasmania, I will be there from 15 Nov to 15 December this year.

No, he was born on 3 Nov 1810 in Birmingham. He was baptised at St Phillip's Church. His father was Charles and his mother Sarah, possibly Sarah Jones. He was transported to Tasmania on the Woodford on 2 May 1828 for life for housebreaking and arrived in Hobart on 25 August 1828. He eventually married Mary Stanaway, who was born in 1810 probably in Birmingham, and had been transported on the Sir Charles Forbes for life for highway robbery, arriving Tasmania on 3 January 1827.
It was Mary's third marriage. Her first marriage, on 25 Oct 1830, was to John Williamson, a convict transported for 7 years for theft on the Lady East, arriving Tasmania 9 April 1825. He died, and on 21 March 1838 she married Charles Osborne, a free man. She ran off with John Latham soon after, as they had a child called Elizabeth, who died in gaol, where her mother had been sent for leaving her husband and getting pregnant with another man, on 4 Nov 1840. Mary seems to have called herself Mary Williams (after husband No. 1) and this has confused most genealogists, including me for a long time. Mary and John finally married on 3 September 1855, presumably because Charles Osborne had died. In the meantime, they'd had five more children, the youngest of whom Joseph Albert Victor Latham, born in Franklin on 2 July 1851, was my great-great grandfather.

The John Latham who married "Mary Williams" in Tasmania is actually from Birmingham, and he married Mary Stanaway, which is the real name of "Mary Williams". I've done the family history of the Lathams, so if you want to know more, contact me. Gasser.
