I must admit that my mum did virtually all of the research on Makepeace family. Both mum and I found Mary Ann and her brothers (Robert & John) facinating characters. Orphaned in UK, free settlers in Hobart in a time when 90% of population was either convict or soldier.
I have a bit more detail, and mum has more again. I will be away for a few days, but if you want to send an email to [email protected], I can send you more info. This should include copies of some certificates.
I should mention the evidence for Mary Ann's grandfather being John is weak. Her father gives his name as John Junior on his marriage certificate. If his fathers's name as not John why would he call himself John Junior??
