 Looking for info on a Mary Park birth 10/11/1819 in Fenwick Ayrshire SCT
married a convict in Launceston Tasmania 13/2/1843 named Richard Davis
they had 5 children, Mary died24/5/1862 in Tasmania.

 I have a lot of Richards history, but can't find how Mary Park came to Australia,
, and what she did before marrying Richard. Was she a convict or free person?
 Any help would be most appreciated. Kind Regards   MARY MARY

Have you already searched the Prison registers on the above website?  I can’t see an entry for her

She had a brother David b 1813

And a brother Alexander baptised 09 Apr 1811
David, his wife and children are on the 1841 census

Possibly sister Agnes bapt 17 Apr 1809. Mother's maiden name a bit mangled on the transcript

and sister Jean bapt 16 May 1816

[LizzieL]

Jean (the daughter) died 11 May 1817

The only one of the family I can find on a census is David and then only in 1841. Apart from Agnes as a child, I can't find any deaths. Did all the family except David emigrate before 1841, and he followed sometime between 1841 and 1851?

Thank you for your research on Mary Park, Richard Davis a convict came to Australia Tasmania1833 on the Stakesby ship 4/9 1833, aged 23. He married Mary 13/2/1843 Launceston and was the chief constable. I am wondering how Mary arrived, as cant find her on shipping records.
Where and what did she do before marriage. Kind Regards
