Biographies
John Crotty was a married
Irish convict transported to New South Wales for Life at age 34.
John was convicted at Waterford of Sheep Stealing on 6 March 1837 and sentenced to transportation for Life. At the time he was married with three children under age 6.
John Crotty had married Johanna Kelly at Waterford in 1829 and they had four children, their first born son John died in infancy. They then had Johanna Ellen, Mary, and Michael.
As a result of John being transported, Johanna and her three children had no means of financial support and ended up in the Clonmel Poorhouse in County Tipperary.
Twelve years after John arrived in New South Wales, when he was in Windsor on the Hawkesbury, he applied to have his family brought out to join him. By this time eldest daughter Johanna Ellen had died. John Crotty's wife Johanna and
two surviving children Mary and Michael were able to sail
to New South Wales and join him in 1849. They arrived a week before Christmas on the immigrant ship 'Success'. They settled on the Hawkesbury.
John was given a Conditional Pardon three years later in 1852. He and wife Johanna eventually relocated to Inverell, where John died on 11 June 1879 at the age of 76.
