Ann  Saunders born 1838 second daughter of Robert and Ann.

Ann was born in Longford and moved to Evandale a few years later.
On the 28th September 1852 Annie and her mother got into an altercation where Ann assaulted her daughter. You can read the full court document located on the home page under Ann Saunders (Nee Clancy).
On the 12th January 1853 Annie married Michael Kiernan who was a convict who had not yet received his Ticket of leave. He served only 8 years and 5 months of a 15 year sentence receiving his ticket of leave in April 1853 . Michael was reportedly 52 years of age when he married Annie, she was just 15 years old.

Michael and Ann had 8 children
Michael 1854 married Edith Barrett and lived most of his life in Hobart.

Michael died on the 12th February 1891 age recorded at death was 88 years. Buried at the Roman Catholic burial ground Evandale. Ann was still alive at Michaels death I have not yet been able to find a record of Ann's death but I assume she is buried at Evandale with Michael.
