She later Married another Convict in Sydey, Gregory Hough (aka Howe), in 1830.

The Princess Royal arrived Sydney Cove 9 May 1829 with 100 female Convicts, and some paying paessengers.
She was a small ship of only 402 Tonnes, built in 1794 in Yarmouth. By 1828 she was rated only as Class E1 by Lloyds. See Chap 4 of Babette Smith's book, A Cargo Of Women, for much more detail.
