Okay I found John's death certificate - he died in Richmond, Victoria, Australia in 1890 (86 yrs old, confirming born 1804). Usefully, his death certificate lists his parents' names - his father is another John Flatley and his mother is a Mary Rutledge. Given the first borns are usually given a parent's name, I'm wagering this John and Mary were born somewhere around 1780.  Any leads?  Hoping this might be in someone's tree somewhere, I've drawn a blank.

I have a John Flattley born around 1804 in Knock.  He had seven sons, the youngest of which is my g-g-grandfather James, born 1846 in Knock.  I have absolutely no idea who the other six brothers are - no names, nothing.

John and James turn up living together in Tottenham, Middlesex, England in the 1871 census.  The following year they both emigrated to Australia together.  Then John just disappears.

I have photos of them both, along with a photo of John's wife, Mary Harrison (d. 1870, buried at Kensal Green Cemetery, England).

I would love to know what happened to the other six brothers.
