==Notes== {{notelist|notes= {{efn|name=dob|The date of Kelly's birth is not known, and there is no record of his [[baptism]]. Kelly himself thought he was 28 years old when he was hanged.<ref>{{Cite news|author=<!--Staff writer(s)/no by-line.--> |title=Arrival of Ned Kelly in Melbourne.|url=https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/196695949|work=Trove|date=3 July 1880|access-date=21 August 2021|quote=Look across there to the left. Do you see a little hill there?" Walsh replied that he did, and the outlaw continued, "That is where I was born, about twenty-eight years ago."}}</ref> Evidence for a December 1854 birth is from a 1963 interview with family descendants Paddy and Charles Griffiths quoting Ned's brother Jim Kelly who said it was a family tradition that Ned's birth was "at the time of the [[Eureka Stockade]]", which took place on 3 December 1854.<ref name="Jones2010p346">{{harvnb|Jones|2010|p=346}}</ref> In July 1870, Ellen Kelly, Ned's mother, recorded Ned's age as 15Β½, which could easily refer to a December 1854 birth.<ref name="Jones2010p346"/> There is also a remark made by G. Wilson Brown, school inspector, in his notebook on 30 March 1865, where he noted that Ned Kelly was 10 years and 3 months old.<ref name="Jones2010p346"/> The only evidence given in support for Ned Kelly's birth being in June 1855 is from the death certificate of his father, John Kelly, who died on 27 December 1866. Ned Kelly's age is written as 11Β½.{{sfn|McMenomy|1984|p=28}}}} }}
