Biographies
Anne Broe was born in 1820 in Limerick Ireland and died on 11 May 1908 in Gulgong New South Wales. In July 1838 Anne was sentenced to 7 years transportation for stealing a quilt. She was transported to Australia on the "Margaret 2"ship that left Dublin on 3 September 1838 with 166 female prisoners, arriving Sydney on 5 January 1839 .Edward Canney was Master of the Ship, which was 364 feet long. Anne was single, a catholic, 19 years of age, a kitchen maid, 5 feet in height, dark, ruddy and pock marked complexion, grey to blue eyes, light brown hair, with a scar inside her left thumb. She could not read or write. There is a note on her file to say that her mother, Mary Broe was also a convict and had arrived in Sydney 3 years earlier.
When Anne arrived in the colony on 5 Jan 1839 she was taken to the Female Factory at Newcastle (tbc). Shortly after her arrival she was discharged into the care of William Carruthers Little Hetherington, a Grazier from Patrick’s Plains. Sometime in the next 12 months William and Anne had a daughter named Mary. On 30 Apr 1840 Anne was returned to Newcastle Gaol where she was sentenced to 2 months at the 3rd class Female Factory (Parramatta? or Newcastle?) as she was “incapable of attending to her duty having a young child under the age of 9 months.” She was discharged on 29 Jun 1840 to Mr H Dangar (sp).
Anne married Thomas Healey on 18 Nov 1840 in Church of England, Oakville, Whittingham, Wollombi, New South Wales. Anne and Thomas presumably raised Mary as one of their own children. Anne and Thomas moved to Mulgoa and had 3 more children Patrick, Eliza and Anne. Anne moved to Gulgong, where her daughters Mary and Eliza resided. Anne died in Cudgegong, NSW on 11 Mar 1908.
She is buried in Gulgong General Cemetery under the name of Anne Haley.
