Daniel Kelly was born in Lorrha County, Tipperary, Ireland.
He arrived at Port Phillip Bay in Australia in 1850 on the ship 'Aurora' age 14 or 16. On board were his parents (Philip) Silvester Kelly and Catherine Kelly nee Touhey. Also his siblings John, Mary, Martin and the infant William.
Daniel married Eliza Boulger in 1856 in Victoria, Australia
Daniel died in 1899 at Eunonyhareenyha Station, NSW where he was away from home (Tumut) working. He was loading hay onto a dray when he became ill and died shortly after. He was 65 years of age. He was buried in the General Cemetery at Wagga, Wagga, NSW, Australia
General regret was expressed when it became known that an old resident of Brungle Creek, in the person of Mr Daniel Kelly, had died suddenly while engaged in harvesting operations at Eunonyahareena in the Wagga district. Mr. Kelly had been a resident of Brungle Creek for well nigh forty years, during a period of 34 years of which the writer had the privilege of his acquaintance. He was a quiet, unassuming man, and ever had a cheery smile and a quiet joke for those with whom he was familiar. It had been his practice every year to go down to the Riverina country shearing, and, I believe, had done so during the present season, and had evidently under-taken some harvest work on the return journey, when his death took place, as recorded in the "Times" of Friday last. Mr. Kelly leaves a wife and large family, all of whom are grown up.[1]
