In late 1840, Ann and the children traveled by ship to Saint Kitts, where George was working. George and Ann contracted yellow fever, and George died in December. On its return journey, the ship took Ann, who was still too ill to walk, and the children back to England.

The family moved to Jersey to live with William and Jane Galbraith during the following year.
