Biography

Notables Project
Thomas McIntyre is Notable.

Thomas Newman McIntyre was born on 24 May 1846 in Ballymacarrett, Down, Ireland, the son of Frances (Newman) McIntyre and James McIntyre.[1]

In October 1878, Constable Thomas McIntyre was the the only surviving witness to the murder of three Irish born policemen by the Kelly Gang at Stringybark Creek. At Ned Kelly's trial, McIntyre stated that Kelly had fired the first shot, killing Constable Thomas Lonigan.

Constable Thomas McIntyre's Manuscript:
Sole surviving witness to the murder of his three colleagues at Stringybark Creek on October 26 1878 by the Kelly Gang, Constable Thomas McIntyre spent much of his life coming to terms with what he'd witnessed. Retiring from the police force at the young age of 35 due to ill health, McIntyre wrote what could be considered the first history of the Kelly Gang. The un-published manuscript details his eyewitness description of the murders and his encounters with Ned Kelly over the course of the following years.

Thomas married Eliza Ann Fowler in 1879 in Victoria.[2] Their children were:

Thomas died in 1918 in Ballarat, Victoria, aged 72 years.[11] His remains were buried at Ballarat Old Cemetery.[12]

Research notes

A timeline of the Kelly Gang and Kelly Family

After they arrived they received a warning that four policemen were planning to track them down. The gang ambushed the police camp at Stringybark Creek[13] and found two of the four policemen – Constables Lonigan[14] and McIntyre[15] sitting around a fire. The gang drew their guns and Ned shot Lonigan and McIntyre surrendered.

Hi Valerie,

Thanks for looking after this Australian notable! I'm not sure if you're aware, but the Australia Project has recently changed their Australian Notables categories. We are now moving all the profiles currently under the Australia, Notables category to one or more of the sub-categories - see Australia, Notables category for the sub-categories and Australian Notables for information on how to include an Australian Notable category as part of the Notables sticker. You can also check if you have any other profiles that need moving from under this category by going to the category and choosing 'Limit to Watchlist' on the top RHS.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me,

Thanks so much! Gillian, co-Leader, Australia Project
