I have seen the name Burton used in relation to a Maryann Burton who married Hector Dallas in New South Wales, Aust. in 1861. The Maryann is said to be Mary Ann Allgood/Burton.
I cannot find a record of Mary Ann Algood being transported to VDL but there is a record of Maryann Burton, coupled with the name Sarah Pierce. Could these have been aliases ??
