Margaret Alice Kelly baptised in 1834 at Dualla, near Cashel, in Tipperary Ireland emigrated to Australia around mid 1850s.
Her 3 youngest brothers, John, Thomas and William came out in 1858 just in time for their sisters wedding at St Francis Church, Melbourne, to John Morgan on the 20 June 1858.
Another brother, Michael, went to South Africa then later to Australia in 1897 where he died at his sisters residence, the Cross Keys Hotel Essendon in 1898. His death certificate and Will both say he was a bachelor.
John married Mary Ann Francis in 1869 and died at Yackandandah, Victoria in 1905
Thomas went to New Zealand for the Gold rush there and married Juliana Bassett. He died there in 1912.
William was a miner according to the Will of his brother, Michael. The most likely William I could find in Australia died at Muttaburra, a mining area near Longreach, Queensland in 1899.
There is one brother I have not found and that is Edmond/Edmund Kelly baptised 1838. I don't know if he died young or if lived on and stayed in Ireland with their mother who it seems lived to the 1880s. I really can't think that all the children would leave their mother behind on her own.
I would think perhaps at least one child would stay.
A photo of their mother is a family possession and has been most likely dated around 1880.
I have recorded findings on their lives at http://morganandkellyfamilyhistories.weebly.com/
