She and her partner Edward Bracey ran away together. The ended up as Highway Robbers on the Loughborough Road near Nottingham. She passed herself off as a man; apparently no one else in their gang knew she was a woman!
She was caught, tried at the Shire Hall (now the Galleries of Justice) and hanged at the junction where the Loughborough Road leaves Nottingham in West Bridgford.
