surname spelt "Connelly" on headstone but Connolly everywhere else.
Death 2 Mar 1872 Queanbeyan, NSW, Australia: Patrick Connolly 78, farmer, born co Galway Ireland, 31yrs NSW; parents Peter Connolly, farmer, Mary Commins; marr age 25 Ireland to Julia Donoghue; informant Julia Connolly, widow of deceased. CHN 3 males, 4 fems living, 1 fem dead.
Patrick's death certificate points to his real year of birth, ie 1793. It seems likely that both Julia and Patrick claimed to be younger than they really where when they arrived in NSW in 1840, perhaps in order to be eligible for a bounty assisted passage.
Patrick and Julia had a daughter Mary Connolly aged 22 on board the same ship in 1840. Her fate is unknown, except that she predeceased her father in March 1872. She did not marry Henry Fitzpatrick, as suggested by many online trees. The Mary Ann Fitzpatrick, wife of Henry, who died 1873 at Newtown NSW was the daughter of John and Margaret.
