Transported on the ship "Mary Ann" the following summary from the ship's surgeon outlines the voyage:
"SURGEON’S JOURNAL OF HER MAJESTY’S FEMALE CONVICT SHIP MARY ANNE III 1841 JAMES BARR M.D. SURGEON & SUPERINTENDENT 125 female convicts, 19 emigrants and 39 children departed Dublin on 27 November 1840 on a voyage to Van Diemen's Land, via the Cape of Good Hope for fresh provisions and arrived in Hobart Town on 19 March 1841 (1 woman and 1 infant died, 2 born at sea) "
In Winifred's convict record there was some issues:
On 21 October 1841 Winifred was found to have been out after hours and punished with one month at the wash tub.
On 30 August 1842 she was found to be in general neglect of her duties and idleness, and given four days and four nights of solitary confinement.

While still convicts, Joseph and Winifred made an application to get married on 12 October 1842. This was not approved due to the consequences of the female's conduct.
CON52-1-2p81
Joseph and Winifred again made an application to get married on 21 December 1842. This time the application was approved. Could it have been because Winifred was already carrying Joseph's first child?
