Ann Munday (?–?)

Ann Munday arrived at Sydney aboard the Alexander with her marine husband and two children in January 1788 as part of the First Fleet. She had two more children in the colony. The family moved to Norfolk Island on the Atlantic in October 1791 where they lived on a 60 acre grant. Both she and her husband had disappeared from the records by 1805. It is not known if they had left the colony or died.
