Worcestershire / Re: Mary Pardoe

Hi Linell,

Well, first off, I got some of the Mary Pardoe info from a book that was done about 19 years ago by an Allen Maunder. It was made available to the decendants of Peter Hibbs and Mary Pardoe (of which, of course, I am one). It lists Mary's birth as 1772 in Droitwich, Worcestershire. But then it lists 2 possible sets of parents. John Pardoe and Ann. Or Thomas Pardoe and Mary Burton. FamilySearch.com throws up several different possibilites too.

Follwing other people researching the same line on Ancestry.com, some of them have Mary being born in 1768 in Old Swonford (I've since worked out that they mean Old Swinford). This line also crops up on FamilySearch.com

I'm not sure if Mary was married prior to being transported to NSW. She had a child on the voyage to one of the sailors, but then, in 1791, she married Peter Hibbs on Norfolk Island. Mary died in 1844 in NSW. I've been to her grave, but unfortuntly, don't hae a photo of it, but I don't think it had an age at death.

I was hoping that if I could find her trail record, it might, at least, contain her age. If she was born in 1772, that would have made her about 16 at her trial in 1788. If she was born in 1768, then she'd have been about 20 (and I guess then, possibly, maybe married, or widowed? Trail records would show that too I suppose). She was tried in the Warwickshire Assizes, and I'm not sure where to find those records, if they still exsist.

Hi,

I don't know if anyone can help (although, I hope, someone can). I have an ancestor named Mary Pardoe. She was tried at the Warwickshire Assizes on the 2nd April 1788, and sentenced to transportation to New South Wales, where she'd later mary Peter Hibbs. Anyway ... I've found 2 possible birth dates and places for Mary. One is in 1772 in Droitwich, Worcestershire. The other is in 1768 in Oldswinford, Worcestershire. Both times her parents are listed as a John Pardoe and Ann.

Just wondering if anyone might have any further information about Mary, especialy on her Pardoe family (Droitwich or Oldswinford?). Or if anyone might know of where to look for more information. Thank You.

Chris.
