Mary Ann (Jane) was born in Stepney, London. She was convicted fo r larceny in November 1850 and transported to Tasmania. On her convic t record she is mentioned as being a widow (her maiden name is not gi ven) and also single. Her surname at that time was Bowling/Bolling . No children are listed. She was given a ticket of leave in 1857; m arried William Neighbour in 1858 and was widowed in 1862. In 1866, un der the name of Jane Neighbour , she was charged along with Ann Muir f or stealing bacon, pies, dishes and other articles belonging to Mrs. S arah Butler of Hampden Rd. They were both given six months hard labo ur. (Jane Neighbour's convict record was added to Mary Bowling's thu s confirming that they were the same person) Jane Neighbour marrie d George Shipley on 27th September 1871. She died on 3rd September 18 85 of cardiac disease and dropsy. Mary Ann's (Jane's) birth year ran ge, 1815 - 1826, is estimated from her age, given as 32 when she wa s convicted in 1850, therefore born 1818; 45 when she married Georg e in 1871, giving a birth year of 1826; (If this is correct she wou ld have been 32 when she married William Neighbour in 1858 who himsel f would have been 61 at the time) and 70 when she died in 1885, makin g her birth year 1815.
