Did anyone in Ned Kelly's family influence him to become a bushranger?

Probably not directly. His father, Red Kelly, had done 7 years in gaol in Tasmania before he met Ellen Quinn and married her. The Kelly's were Irish Catholic living in British Colonial north eastern Victoria and times were tough. After Red Kelly's death, Ned's mother resorted to some illegal methods of earning money such as distilling alcohol. The Kelly's were constantly harassed by the police for various crimes around the district, but there does not seem to be a great wealth of reliable evidence to support the charges. (The Kelly Outbreak 1878-1880 by John McQuilton).
