'''Before the Glenrowan siege''' In March 1879 William McAuliffe was charged with assaulting police ([[The Ovens and Murray Advertiser 13/3/1879|OMA13/3/79]]) ([[The Argus at KellyGang 13/3/1879|Argus13/3/79]])
Patrick and Dennis McAuliffe were present with [[Tom Lloyd Jnr|Tom Lloyd]] when John Lloyd died in April 1879.
In October 1879 there was a report from Sgt [[Whelan|Whelan]] that Mrs McAuliffe got money from the '''KellyGang'''.
Our family owned the house in the middle of the [[Greta Swamp|Greta Swamp]] that was used by the KellyGang. ([[Cookson, 13_09_1911_3|BWC]])
The family may have supplied mould boards for the '''KellyGang'''s [[Kelly's Armour|armour]].
'''.''' '''Siege at Glenrowan''' It is likely that the 3 McAuliffes were part of the '''KellyGang''''s team at the beginning of the [[ev80-06-28Glenrowan|siege]]. Two of us were arrested when the civilians were allowed out of [[Jones' Glenrowan Inn|Jone's Inn]] about [[ev80-06-28Glenrowan|10am]]. ([[The Age (6)|Age29/6/80]])([[The Argus (13)|Argus]] 28/6/80)
=== Later ===
Const Robert [[Const Robert Graham|Graham]] reported on [[ev81-00---Royal Commission|26th April 1881]] relative to sympathizers of late '''KellyGang'''. -I beg to report for the information of the superintendent that a number of them were here at [[Greta|Greta]] yesterday, drinking, viz.: -Jack [[Jack Quinn Jnr|Quinn]], Tom [[Tom Lloyd Jnr|Lloyd]], jun, Paddy McAuliffe, Tom McAuliffe, John McMonigal, and [[Nolan|Nolan]]; and from their manner I am led to believe that another outbreak among them is imminent. Jack Quinn is very anxious to find out who it was that got the sympathizers arrested in 1879. They all appear to have a great dislike to Pat [[Patrick Quinn|Quinn]], and speak of him as the black tracker."([[Royal Commission report day 25 page 15|RC9870]])
'''Ned Kellys Trial /10/1880'''
At Ned Kelly's committal hearing in beechworth ([[Herald (37)|Herald11/8/1880]])
Tom [[Tom Lloyd Jnr|Lloyd]] and Dennis McAuliffe, two of the most prominent of the Kelly sympathizers, went out voluntarily and helped Const [[Const Armstrong|Armstrong]] when he was stationed at Glenrowan, and looked for a horse down in the bush after [[Ned Kelly|Ned]]'s execution. ([[Royal Commission report day 32 page 7|RC12181]])

== Family ==
A member of the family has been kind enough to supply the following information about the family
"'''Thomas''' and '''Henry McAuliffe''', natives of Limmerick were tried at Clonmel, Tipperary in 1840 and sent to Tasmania. On the completion of their sentences they both ended up in Melbourne (Merri Creek, actually {is this sounding familiar?}) and married two O'Brien sisters who had come to the colony as part of the Irish Famine Scheme. Thomas marrying Bridget and Henry marrying Margaret.
"They both had rather large families and named them the same names so it is rather confusing. It is my understanding that Dennis and Patrick were Henry's son. M'''argaret McAuliffe''' at the trial of [[Ned Kellys Trial|Ned Kelly.]] Bridget McAuliffe, the widow of Thomas suddenly came into good fortune was. Thomas is buried at Greta.
'''Denis McAuliffe wife''' ?... '''children ?....'''Winifred '''home >..'''
I was born in about 1855 and was 3 years older than my brother Patrick.
Dennis is buried in Wangaratta as is father.
'''Paddy McAuliffe wife''' '''and children'''
I married '''Lucy Murdoch''' and then emigrated to New Zealand. They had two sons and two daughters. Tom was the eldest. He died on the western front on Jan 10, 1918. Joe was a good Rugby player. Ena McAuiliffe, was born in 1912 in Taihape, New Zealand.
'''''' I went to New Zealand in 1902 and was a 'Bullochy' for some time, employed to pull timber out of the bush. During these years much of the land around Taihape (south central North Island) was virgin bush which was being logged and cleared for farming. The McAuiffes eventually purchased their own land and farmed for a while. They then purchased the 'Hotel Grand Central' in Taihape which was sucessfully run by them for some years.
