Michael McCoy was born in 1818 (or 1809), possibly in Dublin.
Transported to New South Wales ~1833 as a convict.
Married to Mary, born 1928.
Served his time in the colony, then settled in Nundle, New South Wales, where he later died on 7 April 1906.
Trying to track back to Ireland beyond this has been really hard, but I am very keen to find my roots!
