Mary Bather ( -1790) and her husband John Bather were tried at the Chester Great Sessions on 2 April 1787 for breaking into a house and stealing a number of items. John was acquitted but Mary was found guilty and sentenced to seven years transportation. She was held in Chester Castle for more than two years before boarding the convict transport Neptune in 1790. She died on board the vessel before it reached New South Wales.
