Mary Ann McNamara was born in Cork City, Ireland, in 1803. Under the name ‘Mary Mack’, she was tried in London on 15 April 1830 for picking pockets, and was sentenced to transportation for 7 years. She was deported on the convict ship ‘Kains’, which sailed on 5 July 1830 with 119 other female convicts. The Kains arrived in Sydney on 11 March 1831, a voyage of over 8 months. On arrival in Sydney, Mary was assigned to a Mr Buckland. She was later assigned as a cook, firstly to Sarah Doran of Cabramatta in May 1832 and then to Catherine Palmer of Parramatta in September 1832. In 1833, she married John Smith (a convict who had arrived on the ship 'Manlius' in 1827) in Newcastle. John and Mary had two children:
