Another interesting hit was that of Martin Quin (Guildford 2) and Margaret Bergin (Elizabeth 2). They had a child Martin and a daughter, Mary Ann Quin who was born in 1827. I believe that both children were put in to the orphanage at some stage in the late 1820’s. (from the pdf part of pg 5 of 8 )
The NSW SRO and Ancestry have a current partnership with Ancestry uploading various images. I think I may have found a further Mary (Ann) Quinn, a daughter of Charles and Esther 
of the 39th Regiment of Foot (I think they followed the 48th Regiment)

22 April 1832
To the Trustees of the Clergy and School Lands in the Colony of New South Wales
The humble Petition of Esther Quinn in behalf of Henry and Mary Ann Quinn sheweth that the said Henry and Mary Ann Queen are the Children of the Petitioner as by the annexed Certificates will appear.
That the petitioner is the Widow of the late Private Charles Quinn of the 39th Regiment of Foot and has three other children each of tender years to provide for
Your Petitioner therefore humbly prays that the said Henry and Mary Ann Quinn may be admitted into the Orphan School; and if this Prayer be granted your Petitioner herevy agrees that the said Henry and Mary Ann Quinn shall remain in the Orphan School so long as the said Trustees shall think fit, and that when of a proper Age shall be disposed of at their discretion as an Apprentice or Servant.
Esther Quinn her X mark
There is a note on the Admission File re Henry Quinn, he was aged 6 as at May 3rd (1832) …. Sept 6 1832 he quit the school. The note reads “Baptised at Hobart Town” and “To his Mother”.
I think this means that Henry was baptised at Hobart back when the 39th Regiment was stationed there. And that on Sept 6 1832, his Mother had Henry discharged back into her care.
Applications for Removal (from Orphan School)
2 September 1832 Parramatta.
Sir,
I most humbly beg Excuse for troubling your Honour in Troubling you with any Letter to get my Dear Child from the Male Orphans School Liverpool as he is at this time an object of Pity through grief I put him in at the time of his fathers Death when left alone with a small family about 4 months ago. Honored Gentlemen, I hope ye will take this in Consideration and allow me to get my Child from the School again, as I am married again to a man that left the same Regiment with my former Husband.
James Woodley a Boots and Shoe maker by trade and he has got a grant of land and is going to reside on it in a short time and he is very desirious to get this boy to give him a trade himself.
By your permission
The Late Mrs Quinn
At Present Mrs Woodley
Fingers and toes crossed .... and 
I have not found Mary Ann Quinn's discharge
Cheers, JM
Hi all, I am a direct descendant of Charles Quinn and Esther Coogan. Mary Ann Quinn was their daughter who was put in an orphanage by Esther with her older brother Henry/Henricus (my great great grandfather) on the 22nd of April 1832. Our family has been trying to find out any details of Mary Ann but we've been unsuccessful. Henry was removed from the orphanage in Parramatta, by appeal when his mother Esther remarried in July 1832, a few mere months after her first husband Charles died at Hyde Park Barracks, NSW. We are not sure whether Mary Ann was also removed from the orphanage as Esther's letter only mentions Henry. Charles was in the 3rd (Kent) Regiment of Foot Guards and came to Australia in 1821 - aboard a convict ship escorting convicts to Sydney and Tasmania. Esther and their eldest daughter Ellen (born in Kent, 1820) were free settlers, with son John born in Parramatta in 1921, Henry born in Hobart in 1823, Mary Ann born in Sydney in 1826-27 and their youngest son Charles Wellington born in Wellington NSW in 1829. Charles was moved to the 39th Battalion when the 3rd Regiment of Foot split into 2 separate forces, one becoming the 39th Battalion with the 2nd force going to India. Charles died on the 11 April 1832, leaving Esther to rare their children alone, which would have been difficult in those days and we can only assume that Mary Ann and Henry were put into the orphanage due to not being to be able to provide food and shelter for them. Esther remarried twice after Charles died and settled in Hartley NSW. If you have any more questions or any information, I'll be glad to help out where I can.
