Arthur KELLY - born abt. 1806 Belfast
« on: Monday 04 June 07 00:53 BST (UK) »
I am looking to find out more about Arthur KELLY, born abt. 1806 in Belfast.

Arthur KELLY arrived in Australia as a convict onboard the `Minstrel`, crime unknown.  The `Minstrel` sailed from Portsmouth, Hampshire, England on 17 April 1825 and arrived in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia on 22 August 1825.

Arthur married Margaret ABRAHAM (also a convict) on 21 August 1839 at Castlereagh Church of England, New South Wales, Australia.

Any information about Arthur KELLY and/or his family would be greatly appreciated.

Best Wishes,

Hello Sarah -  Australia,

Have you looked for Arthur on the National Archives of Ireland "Ireland-Australia" Transportation database which lists 224 Belfast convicts?

If Arthur died in Australia his death certificate might give more information like birthplace, names of parents, etc.
Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
