William Hughes was a seaman on the Lady Juliana when he arrived at Sydney in June 1790 as part of the Second Fleet. He had a relationship with Ann Bryant during the voyage which resulted in the birth of a daughter Sophia, who was baptised at Sydney Cove in October 1790, more than two months after Hughes had left the colony.
