Aberdeenshire Lookup Requests / Re: Ann Young - convict

this is the transcription of a new paper report from Aberdeen Journal 22 Feb 1804.
I am descended from Ann Young. I have done a lot of research on her and her sister Euphemia and plan to put it up here as a post. I would love to contact others researching Ann and Euphemia.
“An Act for the more effectual Transportation of Felons and other offenders in that part of Great Britain called Scotland grants warrant for detaining the said Margaret Gray Peter Cavanagh Anne Young and Euphemia Young in the Tolbooth of Aberdeen till delivered over for transportation in Terms of this Sentence”
Anne, who is my 4 X great grandmother, and her younger sister Euphemia, arrived in Sydney on the William Pitt on 11 April 1805, with a 5 year sentence. This is their story, beginning on the Streets on Banff resulting in their incarceration in the Aberdeen Tollbooth, and leading to the foundation of a new family on the other side of the world in Windsor, New South Wales.
The Scottish Newspapers reported the apprehension of members of a gang or thieves that wandered the Highway between Banff and Aberdeen.
Anne Young, says she is a native of Enzie in Banff-Shire; she is a good looking woman seemingly about 25 years of age, fair complexion, brown hair, thin and about middle sized, she is at present very big with child, and wears a grey duffle cloak.
Euphemia Young. Who says her mother Rebecca Young lives in Montrose; she is seemingly about 18 years of age, very forward in her manners, good looking, small stature, light brown hair, fair complexion, wears ear rings, sometimes a mutch, at other times ribbons on her hair, and a small black cap or bonnet.
Pat Cavanagh, who says he is a native of Armagh in Ireland; he is about 40 years of age; has ugly features, and is blind in his left eye; he seems to be well known from his attending fairs, carrying on the trick of pricking the garter.
