Ned Kelly

Ned Kelly was accused of many crimes committed in the south eastern area of Australia during the period known as "The Kelly Outbreak", even in places he could not possibly have been. What he was subsequently tried and hung for, was the murder of Sergeant Kennedy at Stringybark Creek. Kennedy had been mortally wounded in what was described as "a fair fight" between the Police and the Kelly Gang. Ned's version of events were that he could have left Kennedy to die in agony, or finish him off humanely, which is what he did. He even returned to cover the body with a cloak. The Victoria Police of the time were massively corrupt and many of the troopers were little more than criminals themselves. ["The Kelly Outbreak" (1878-1880) John McQuilton]

Australian bushranger Ned Kelly died by hanging.

Ned kelly full name is: Edward Kelly!

It depends how you look at it really.

hes like robin hood.

stole from the rich and gave to the poor but stealing is wrong?

its how you think.

hero easy he stood up for what was right and what he believed in

On the contrary, Ned Kelly did not steal from the rich and give to the poor. He just stole, and he didn't care who he stole from. He certainly didn't give the proceeds to the poor, but kept it for himself. He was a thief and a murderer, yet has been elevated by some misguided people to the status of "hero".

ned kelly was not Irish he was infact born in Victoria Australia, but he did have Irish ansestory as his father was an Irish convict.

He Gave it to the deserving poor Irish families who werent given a fair go by the police

The above answer is a myth. Whatever Ned Kelly didn't use for himself, he only gave to his closest family and friends.

Ned Kelly had two brothers, Dan and James, and a half-brother, John, also known as Jack.

He also had five sisters and two half-sisters. The ones about whom most is known were Maggie (born in 1857) and Catherine, also known as Kate or Kittie (born 1863). The other sisters were Mary, who died as a baby, Anne and Grace.

After Ned Kelly's father died, his mother remarried, and gave birth to another two daughters, Ellen and Alice.

Bushranger Ned Kelly was sentenced to death by hanging by Judge Redmond Barry on 29 October 1880. He was hanged at Melbourne Gaol on 11 November 1880.

During the siege at Glenrowan, Ned Kelly was shot 28 times in his legs, which were the only unprotected part of his body (Kelly was famous for his home-made body armour).

Ned Kelly was hung in Old Melbourne Gaol on 11 November 1880 after being sentenced to death by Irish Judge Redmond Barry on on 29 October 1880, who found him guilty of multiple counts of murder. It is said that he uttered "Such is life" moments before he was hung, but there is actually no real evidence to substantiate this. He was either 25 or 26 years old (his actual date of birth is uncertain).

As was common with executed criminals in those days, a "death mask" was made of Kelly's head, in order for phrenological analysis. This involved the study of bumps on his heads in order to hopefully gain an insight into the mind of criminals. After he was hanged, Kelly was then decapitated, dissected and buried in a non-consecrated yard at the Melbourne Gaol.

In November 2011, his family was finally granted permission to bury his remains near his mother and some of his brothers and sisters in the Greta church yard, south of Glenrowan.

it could be anything because he was dead and people couldn't study him.

Ned Kelly write the letters to the police because he thought it would stop the madness and to try free his mum of of the police sells.

Ned Kelly started bushranaging because he wanted free rights for landowners, yes he did rob banks yes he did still stuff and yes he did kill police offence's but Ned Kelly was a nice man he put people in hostages but he looked after them.

Ned Kelly was a notorious Australian Bush ranger. It is believed that Ned Kelly his brothers and friends had killed three policemen. After a violent confrontation with police Kelly was arrested in 1880. He was sent to jail and tried for murders. He was later convicted for three counts of willful murders and was hanged in November, 1880.

Kelly's last stand was at the Glenrowan Inn, Glenrowan, Victoria, Australia. It was there he was finally arrested before his subsequent trial and hanging in Melbourne.
Bushranger Ned Kelly's last stand was at Glenrowan, Victoria.

some thought him to be a murderous thief whilst others thought him to be a man who stands up for what he believes in

Yes

27 December 1866 and Ned Signed the death certificate from "dropsy" and Ned said he was 11 1/2 which would have made him born June 1855 although othe evidence indicates his birth date was closer to January 1855.

Ned Kelly was an Australian bushranger, and arguably one of the best known as he was said to nobly help out the poor (this is a complete myth). He formed the Kelly gang with his brother Dan Kelly, Steve Hart and Joe Bryne. He was the last of Australia's most well-known bushrangers.

Kelly was particularly famous for the siege at Glenrowan when he held an entire town hostage. Following the murder of police informer Aaron Sherritt on 27 June 1880 Ned Kelly's gang expected a large number of police to travel to Glenrowan by train. They tried to get the townsfolk to help lift the rail tracks to cause a derailment, hoping to kill a large number of the expected police. Not many townsfolk were willing to assist, and people were gradually rounded up and held in the Glenrowan Inn so that they could not warn the train.

After several hours, the Kelly gang allowed the more trusted hostages to go home at nightfall, as the train was running late. Local schoolteacher Thomas Curnow was one of those released, and when he heard the approaching train in the early hours of June 28, he ran quickly to warn of the danger ahead.

Wearing their famous armour, the Kelly brothers held a shootout with police. Several hostages were injured in the gun battle and two later died from gunshot wounds. The other Kelly Gang members were killed, and Ned was shot twenty-eight times in the legs, which were unprotected by the armour.

He survived to stand trial, and was sentenced to death by hanging, which occurred in Melbourne on 11 November 1880.

He took his activities a step further and raised ideas of revolution which made him a standout.

There is no evidence that Ned Kelly ever married, or even that he had a

fiancee.
