Convict Notes
It would appear that James (aged only 15) was sent on to Norfolk Island and was present there for some period. He is NOT the James recorded [page 243 Ref M0057] in the 1828 Census and does not seem to appear there at all. He is recorded as marrying Ellen Power in 1844. Name: Ellen Power Spouse Name: James McAuliffe Marriage Date: 1844 Marriage Place: New South Wales Registration Place: Goulburn, New South Wales. Registration Year: 1844 Volume Number: V Ellen was the daughter of Michael Power (Irish Convict, 1825, "Lonach") and Anastia Keily (Irish Convict, 1828, "Elizabeth"). Ellen and James had at least 2 children; Mary 1846 and Ellen 1848. James' brother Patrick McAuliffe was tried at Kerry the same time as James and also Transported on the "Brampton".
