Place of migration
Migrated to/Born in Australia

Ann was born in 1823 in Drogheda County Louth according to her immigration record. Her parents were George (or Gerry) Kelly and Martha (nee Crilly). Ann arrived in Sydney with her older Sister Peggy as assisted immigrants on the William Sharples on 29 January 1842. She married James Charles Mills on 1 September 1842 at Port Macquarie NSW. They lived near Kempsey in the Macleay Valley for the rest of their lives and had 11 children that I know of.  Ann died in 1874 and is buried in West Kempsey Cemetery. Plenty of descendants still live in that area. One descendant Ken Riordan wrote a book "To The Lucky Country" about the family.
