Ned Kelly

Ned Kelly was the only one who was actually captured. The rest of the gang died during a shoot out at Glenrowan.

Ned Kelly was betrayed to the police whilst holding dozens of people hostage in the Glenrowan Inn on 28 June, 1880. The Kelly gang held a shootout with police. Gang members Dan Kelly, Steve Hart and Joe Byrne were killed, and Ned was shot twenty-eight times in the legs, as his legs were unprotected by the armour. (Controversy has continued over whether Dan Kelly actually was killed, but no real evidence has ever surfaced to suggest he survived and went into hiding.)

Ned Kelly survived to stand trial, and was sentenced to death by hanging on 29 October 1880. He was hanged in Melbourne on 11 November 1880.

June 3, 1855. Kelly was hanged - as the words of an Australian song go - from a rafter in the Russell Street jail (Melbourne) on November 11, 1880, a date ironically coinciding with Armistice day, or Remembrance Day, in 1918, which celebrates the end of World War 1. We hand out poppies to commemorate Armistice Day; not sure what we should hand out to commemorate the charismatic Irishman's hanging. Bullets, or bits of rope, perhaps.

Ned Kelly was a bushranger.he saved a 7 year old boy from drowning and got a green silk sash for his courage. his mother was jailed for 3 years but Ned set her up .

Ned Kelly has Irish parents his fathers name is John but his friends called him red because of his red hair.on November 11th 1880 Ned Kelly was hanged in Melbourne jail .his last words were "such is life".

Ned Kelly Mainly commited his crimes in the bush. His first crime was commited at the age of 14 by stealing a horse from a pig farmer name Ah Koo. He stole things like gold, silver, copper and food he also stole things like wool. The only reason he stole food is because if he tried to trade his gold for food or money he would get Arrested.

The horse that he stole at ther age of 14 was used for transport while running away from police.

Ned Kelly was a bushranger, so he was guilty of highway robbery, that is, bailing up travellers and stealing from them. He was guilty of stealing horses and cattle. He also stole from banks in country towns. His worst crime was the murder of several people, including his brother's best friend, and several troopers (policemen).

Because of the hostage thing.

Ned kelly atended school until his father died.

Ned Kelly started the "Kelly Gang" because he felt that the poor needed something more. So, Ned stole from the rich and gave to the poor, acting like a transition program. He stole no money from himself. After years of stealing, there was one big war. His two mates shot each other to escape the world, and Ned himself was shot twenty-six times all over despite his "armor". Few years after, Ned's crimes caught up to him and he was hung.

The above is a completely contrived answer, with absolutely no truth.

To begin with, Ned Kelly did not steal from the rich and give to the poor. He stole from whomever he wanted, and kept it all for himself, apart from giving some to his own immediate family. There was no war. His mates did not shoot each other.

Ned Kelly did have a "beef" against the law, and this is why he started bushranging, and recruited family and friends as his gang. The story goes that Ned Kelly was influenced to become a bushranger. His family was not particularly liked by the law, and so when he was persecuted by a few of the policemen, he reacted and decided to become an outlaw. He figured that if he was going to be charged for something, he would give them a real reason.

Kelly became a protege to another bushranger, Harry Power who was a notorious bushranger of Victoria, originally transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1841 for stealing shoes. Upon his release, he continued his life of crime, which landed him in Pentridge Gaol. He became a bushranger when he escaped from Pentridge in 1869. At first he worked solo, but decided after while that he would like an accomplice. A friend of his named Jack Lloyd had a nephew, Ned Kelly, just 15 years old and already embittered by frequent run-ins with the police. Lloyd recommended the young Ned Kelly to Harry Power. Power became a mentor to Ned Kelly, taking him on as an apprenctice in 1870, and teaching him the finer points of bushranging.

Ned Kelly gradually progressed to crimes of increasing seriousness and violence, including bank robbery and murder, soon becoming a hunted man.

Ned Kelly's stepfather was named George King.

There is no evidence to suggest that Ned Kelly ever married or had children.

Ned Kelly killed three police officers at Stringybark Creek

police officers name ( Lonigan, Kennedy and Scanlo)

He was 19 when he died at Glenrowan in the siege on June 28 1880. Dan Kelly and Steve Hart were injured just before the police set the Glenrowan Inn on fire and their bodies were burnt. A man has stepped forward claiming to be Dan Kelly, but this has never been proven.

Ned Kelly is remembered for being one of Australia's most notorious bushrangers.

Kelly is particularly remembered 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.

Australian bushranger Ned Kelly had five sisters, two half-sisters, two brothers and one half-brother. His sisters were Maggie (born in 1857) and Catherine, also known as Kate or Kittie (born 1863), 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.

His brothers were Daniel (Dan) and James and his half-brother was John (also known as Jack).

The Kelly gang consisted of Ned Kelly, his brother Dan Kelly, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart. Steve Hart was a mate of Dan's. Ned met Joe Byrne through a mutual friend Aaron Sherritt whom Joe had met in gaol. Steve and Joe were almost accidental members of the gang, other members might have been Wild Wright, Aaron Sherritt or Tom Lloyd Jr., or any one of a number of others. The Kelly Outbreak was the cumulative result of many things, one being the poor treatment of Irish Catholics by the British Colonial Government, another being the problems of Squatters and Selectors squeezing poor settlers off good land, and the largely corrupt Victorian Police doing whatever they liked to whoever they liked. It was only a matter of time before the victims of Colonial oppression exploded.

Ned Kelly was born in Australia. He was born in December 1854 in Beveridge, Victoria.

He held up people at gunpoint and stole their belongings. He killed police who attempted to apprehend him. Today he would be thrown into gaol like any frequent armed robber, however Australia is so devoid of historical heroes that history has been twisted to make him into a loveable rogue, who was a lady's man and only stole from rich people who deserved it. He was just misunderstood and picked on. God help us!

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.
