Great Story, my direct ancestor was through Richard and Ally's son James.

Hi Bons - Michelle is related to Richard Clancy via James as well. James is her GGG Grandfather. He also lived an interesting life - born in Ireland (where we are now), came to Aust as a 19 Y.O. to join his convict father, became a butcher, went bankrupt, possibly spent time in gaol for as part of the bankruptcy, and is buried in the Melbourne General cemetery. I can send you some details and some photos if you would like.

Cheers

David
