Patrick McDonnell, convict, probably Tasmania

[Rodney53]

Mentioned in the convict record of his sister Margaret McDonnell, who was tried at Drodhega, Ireland and was transported on the "Arabian" in 1847 to Van Diemen's land. I am presuming that he was there also, since VDL records know about him in 1847.

I am having trouble finding anything on Patrick McDonnell in Tasmania.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Going by her convict record brother Patrick arrived 1844 but i can't read the rest properly to know exactly what else it says about him.

giblet: I can't read the writing much more than that  her brother Patrick was transported as well. That's really all I know about him. Parents Jeremiah McDonnell and Bridget Neehan, both Irish. Thanks for your help.

Tree Spirit: this one is a definite possibility, but does the Sentence commuted to one year imprisonment refer to after being transported? Thanks.

ShaunJ: is also possible. I'm struggling to read the writing. Will print it off and try a magnifying glass ... see how I go. Thanks.

I think the last bit is about her:

18 mos (months) on the Town (a prostitute). Single

"Parents Jeremiah McDonnell and Bridget Neehan"

Where are you seeing this information?.

In CON41 and CON15 brother is named as Patrick only, no family name. Brother Patrick might have a different family name eg widowed mother has two marriages, two families?
