'''Early years''' I was born in 1820 in Ireland near Tipperary in the poverty of a 3/8 acre farm.

Sentenced on 1 January 1841, probably for stealing to stay alive and finally transported on a ship called the Prince Regent and sent to Van Dieman's Land (now Tasmania).

Arrived in Hobart Town in January 1842.

I worked in a number of positions in convict camps at Browns River, Morven, Perth, near Launceston. I was granted a ticket of leave in 1845 and his certificate of freedom in 1848.

I was 5 feet 8 inches tall and had reddish hair, reddish whiskers

I then went into business with the Quinns doing some horse stealing.

In 1857 my brothers and sisters Edward, Mary, Ann, [[James Kelly Snr|James]] (Jim) and Daniel

After a time life at Wallan did not suite me and we moved to [[Avenel|Avenel]]. While we were there I fell foul of someone. As a result in May [[1864-1873 Events|1865]] I was charged with unlawful possession of a hide and sentenced to 6 months. ([[Royal Commission report Appendix 10|RCApp10]])
