I am descended from Norfolk Island convicts. Its a bit of a twisted and confusing tale, mainly because the names are the same. Ann (1) Stokes m. 1794 on Norfolk Island to Humphrey Lynch. Ann (1) and her daughter Elizabeth (1) (born in England) were transported separately but both ended up on Norfolk Island, and then in Van Diemens Land. Elizabeth (1) m. Joseph Genders on NI in 1803, and a daughter Ann (2) was born abt 1803 on Norfolk Island. Elizabeth (1), Joseph (1) and Ann (2) were relocated to VDL in 1808. For some reason, in the records Ann (2) kept the name Stokes (there is one record of her as Ann Genders), and her 3 children were born as Stokes. Elizabeth (2), Ann (3) and Joseph (2). Father of these children is not recorded but Ann (2) then formed a relationship with William Smedley. I have other family info and would be happy to hear from anyone who is part of this family :D
