Gender
Female

Honora was transported to Australia with her baby daughter, Helen per Hooghly in 1831 after stealing three pigs. She may have been married to a foot soldier, Edwin Goodwin but I have been unable to confirm this.  

Honora was sent to the Parramatta Female Factory upon arrival. She married William Bagnall (Bagnell) on 11 May 1835 at Parramatta. Later that year she was convicted of a further offence and was returned to the Female Factory where she gave birth to her son, William on 30 January 1836.   Honora, baby William and another young daughter, Ann were sent to Moreton Bay Penal Settlement while Helen was placed in the Female Orphan School. I'm looking for any information about Honora and William's lives.
