Convict Notes
Brian and Mary had 6 children. Agnes born 1861 Coonabarabran NSW, Bernard born 1862 Coolah NSW, Jane born 1867 Dubbo NSW, Amelia born 1868 Cassilis NSW, Patrick born 1870 Cassilis NSW and Florence (Flora) born 1873 Coolah NSW.
Bernard married Bridget Brady in 1843. Can't find any records to confirm this. Bridget died in 1858. Bernard married Mary Kelly Jones in 1860 Patricks Plain, NSW. He was arrested in Mudgee NSW on 1 May 1872 and committed for trial at Mudgee Quarter Sessions. 14 June 1872 at Mudgee sentenced to 12 months hard labour Bathurst Gaol for attempt to stab his wife, Mary Kenny. He was arrested and served his gaol time under the name Brian Kenny.
Died at Liverpool Asylum. Cancer of eye and face. Buried in unmarked grave Liverpool NSW. Death certificate in name of Brian Kenny.
I believe he may have dropped the "Kil' from Kilkenny. I have been searching for a Bernard (Brian,Brien, Bryant Barnard) Kenny, a farmer at one time from Cassilis. During his life he used several variations of his first name and I have not been able to find anything of him PRIOR to 1851. I don't believe it such a stretch that he may have done the same with his family name.
