Were these 2 Aherns related? If yes, perhaps he was receiving the
things she had stolen, therefore there was complicity and he should have
gone with her - perhaps he did.

http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~aherns/ahcrim.htm#transport shows
that a Judith Ahern, of Bandon, County Cork, was born in 1793 and was
transported on the Woodman. It says she "sews, knits, and milks". There is
no identifiable record of the said William being transported. As there was
a need for women in Australia, it may be that they were transported for
lesser offences. I have seen newspaper reports of women transported for
stealing a bit of ribbon or a chicken.
