Ann Stuckey was born c1800 (age 28 in 1828 census)

http://australianroyalty.net.au/individual.php?pid=I65006&ged=p... has the following information

Father - William House [Free Settler "Daedalus" 1793]? - arrived in Australia in April 1793 on "Daedalus"
Mother - Margaret (Wilson) House - Wood [Convict "Anne" 1801] - arrived in Australia in February 1801 as convict on "Anne"
Husband - Peter G Stuckey, Free Settler “Earl Spencer” 1813 - arrived in Australia in October 1813 as free settler on "Earl Spencer" - married in 1818

The 1828 census has Ann arriving free in 1813

Discrepancies are
- parents William and Margaret were not in the same location until February 1801 therefore if they are her parents she would have been born in Australia no earlier than November 1801
- If arrived in Australia in 1801 on "Anne" with convict mother - her father cannot be William
- If arrived in Australia in 1813 then neither Ann or William could be her parents

Does anyone have any additional information?

"Anne" left Cork on 26/6/1800 and arrived in Sydney Cove on 21/2/1801

First Officer was W HOUSE

So Margaret and William could have met on the "Anne" and conceived a child - if so the child would have been born in Australia no earlier than March 1801
