Descendants of Jeremiah and Matilda Crowley
I am looking fro descendants of Jeremiah Crowleyof County Cork who was transported to NSW for life for horse stealing, arriving on the Hadlow in 1820.In 1839, he married a fellow convict, Matilda Whittle, a widow from Cornwall.They had three known children, Mary Ann, born 1841, Catherine, born 1842 and Caroline Emma who probably died as a child.
Mary Ann married James Holland in Sydney in 1863 andthey are my great grand parents.Catherine married James McClelland (sometimes shown as McLennon)at Gerringong in 1858.
Jeremiah is thought to have died in 1854.matilda remarried a Thomas Ringwood in 1858, giving her maiden name as Penrose.
Any relatives?
