Michael Woodward
Meet the people of the KellyGang story
Michael's role in the story
I was a farm boy with Mrs Kelly
Links to the KellyGang
I got a job as a farm boy at Mrs Kelly's farm in early 1876.
Later I was arrested for stealing a chestnut mare and foal from John Quinn of Glenmore, Mrs Kelly's brother. Earlier Ned Kelly had been charged with the same offence. I was sentenced to 3 years imprisonment. I was dragged into this by the Kellys and Quinns. These Irish families always play hard and they are always fighting.
I told the authorities on about 7/2/
1879 that I thought the
KellyGang would be making for the head of the Murray, Paddy's River, in New South Wales; a track crosses head of Paddy's River to Yarrangobilly Ranges into the Maneroo country, between Paddy's River and Yarrangobilly (
