GenderMaleLife Story
Picture Ipswich is pleased to be able to provide research undertaken about Patrick and Isabella Kelly by a descendant. We are fortunate to have information about what we believe was a Ticket of Leave Convict who received his ticket for the Moreton Bay area.
Isabella's son Arthur William was born on 21 February 1844 in Sydney. Isabella and Patrick's first child, Patrick John was born in Sydney on 24 October 1845. By August of 1847 the family were living in Limestone (now Ipswich) and their son Michael was born there on 10 August 1847.
To learn more about the lives of Patrick and Isabella Kelly (nee Reilly), read the history below.
