Article Alert: Local Connection to Ned Kelly

From Google Alerts

The Manly Daily newspaper of June 28, 2011 had an article called Local connection to Ned Kelly.

From the article:

Frenchs Forest Bushland Cemetery has recently provided an historical plaque at their cemetery to mark the gravesite of Heddington Joseph Jones who has a direct connection to Australia’s most famous outlaw….Ned Kelly !

Jones was the youngest son of the Ann Jones, the proprietor of the Glenrowan Inn, and as a young child he was present at the siege of Glenrowan in 1880 when the Kelly gang held 62 people hostage during the shootout with the Victorian police.

    Joe Dipisa suggested I add this link re Heddington Jones's headstone that was on google alerts after the one I used in the article alert. In this one there is a photo of Heddington and his wife in their later years.
