David,

Sorry, but I beg to differ. From records I have Ned Kelly's mother was
Ellen Quinn. The story goes that John Kelly, Ned's father, was transported
to Tasmania and when his sentence expired he crossed Bass Strait to Port
Philip district. There he met the Quinn clan and Ellen Quinn. James Quinn
refused his 18 year old daughter permission to marry so John and Ellen
eloped and were married in St Francis' Church Melbourne on 18 Nov 1850. Ned
was their third child and first son.
