"Margaret Fox, Mary Scott, and Mary Farmer, for having a quantity of stolen blue nap coating, the property of Michael Commons - Guilty, 7 years transportation"

This is a long shot.  Mary Farmer had a male child when she was convicted at Louth.  This information shows on the convict indents, so I believe the child was with her aboard the Ship Asia, which departed Ireland 10 September 1829, and arrived Sydney, Australia 13 January 1830.

Mary married  Charles Titswell Jones in 1832.

I believe that the male child is my ggrandfather.  To help me prove this, I need to know the boy's name, and if Mary (listed as married, but is Farmer her married name or her maiden name). The indents indicate she was a native of Louth.

The only information I have on my ggrandfather is from his death certificate, and that he came from Ireland as a small child, his father is listed as Charles Jones.

As mentioned, a long shot. THankyou for taking the time to read

Thankyou, I do have this information, though appreciate that you spent time on following up for me. I had thought because the document attached shows 1 in the family column, that the child came with Mary.
