Early years Photograph I was bor in Ireland in 1835
Edward, Daniel, Mary, Ann and I arrived in Victoria in 1857 and we went to live a Wallan with Red Kelly and his family
When they left to go to Avenel I stayed around Kilmore.
On 12/05/1862 I was charged with cattle stealing -but discharged by the Kilmore court
On 21/10/1862 I was back in the Kilmore court charged with cattle stealing again- with the same result, I was discharged
On 22/4/1864 I was convicted for cattle stealing, at Kilmore, and sentenced to 4 years. (RCApp10)
Greta In 1868 Ellen Kelly was living in an old pub at Greta with her children. I was drunk when I set fire to the place. I was charged with arson and sentenced to death by Judge Barry in Beechworth. The sentence was commuted by the government to life in prison. Later I finished my days in the Beechworth Asylum
