Not only a horse thief, and a convict, but a bigamist as well!
I would have liked to have been a fly on the wall when Elizabeth (Mahoney) Donovan and her daughter arrived in Australia on the 14th May 1826 and found that her Irish husband John, transported as a convict, had married another convict in Sydney!
I think that Elizabeth must have been a feisty Irish woman, and a force to be reckoned with!
