Personal Notes:
John Sheehan arrived in the Colony as a convict on board the convict ship "Ann and Amelia" arr. 2nd Jan 1825 sentenced to 'Life' and Ann arrived on the 'Andromeda' on 17th Sept 1834. The ship sailed from Cork. I have been able to find that John married Ann at St Patrick's, Parramatta in 1836. They sort permission to mary in 1835 from the Rev.McEnroe in Sydney and at the time John was 35, his sentence was Life and he held his TOL, Ann was 19 her sentence was 7 years and she was a Bonded Servant. (taken from Lesley Uebel's CD 'Permission to Marry').
