Prisoners

Home Cameron Cherry Curnow Gibbins Lowe Metcalf Reardon Women

 

There were anywhere from 40 to 62 prisoners in the Glenrowan Inn, summoned there by Ned Kelly 
and his gang. At various times people were held at the Inn and the stationmaster's house, with most eventually 
being kept in the Inn. Once Bracken was taken prisoner, everyone was kept in the Inn. Some were sympathisers 
and others were simply caught up in what was going on. Below is a smattering of names of some who witnessed 
history. (this list includes all prisoners no matter where they were held. Including some who stayed home!)

(some prisoners were earlier held at Stanistreets and watched by Steve Hart).  
Mrs. Bracken and her two year old son Richard were also left at home.

....Mrs. Margaret Reardon was listed as Mary in McMenomy (Ned Kelly) and Margaret by The Royal
