| Wood engraving of Dan Kelly published in The illustrated Australian news, November 28, 1878. |
Dan Kelly, younger brother of Ned Kelly and one of the Kelly gang, is said to have died in the Glenrowan Inn fire of June 28,1880 as a 19-year-old. But when a man, who lived his life under the assumed name of James Ryan, walked into the Brisbane offices of the Sunday Truth in 1933 claiming to be the real life Dan Kelly, it unleashed questions that have remained unanswered to this day.

Let it be known that Dan Kelly did not die at Glenrowan. He lived until 1943. He married and had a daughter.
Those who really know the truth agree with annomynous.
I think this is very interesting. ??
So the real truth will soon be known to all. An author who has written a Ned Kelly book will soon release the continuing story of the life of Dan Kelly. Yes, Dan did live on.Yes he did go to Africa. But he came back to Australia.
Dear Anonymous, this is most interesting and I look forward to reading the book. Thanks for letting us know. I wish you could leave your first name as I am so sick of talking to so many people named anonymous!
I Agree With Anonymous I Have Read The Book As
well
My mum knew him. Grew up in Brisbane and my grandpa was a barber there. She told me stories from my earliest youth of Dan. She also was a Kelly though denied any relationship to him. But I reckon she had her reasons. Dan was still alive when mum left Australia in the early 40's.
im a descendant of dan kelly
My late husband met Dan Kelly around 1945. He wrote the book 'Burnt to a Cinder, was I' about Dan's life after Glenrowan. I have boxes of research papers, emails, photos of Dan (not published). I would like a film made so we can set the record straight. Also Steve Hart photos etc.
I am posting under anonymous but will make contact if worthwhile!
see YouTube the Ballad of Dan Kelly. Song
My relatives say he was in the Capella area in the early part of the century.
Can anyone suggest some sites on dan kelly
How did you get that information if there is not much information
about Ned Kelly?
I once had a girl on a FB page discussion of Ned Kelly tell me she a decendent of Dan Kelly and that 'Dan did not die in the fire'. After the pub burned down, two semi cremated bodies found beyond recognition - who did they belong to? One suggestion had it that they of tramps who remained in the pub.
If Dan survived the fire, what happened to Steve Hart?
This is really interesting... i luv history n reading about the Kelly family, would be good to know to truth and set the record straight... why don't they do a DNA test on his bones like they did with Ned? Then they can lay his body next to his mother too!

I find this really strange and very unusual because if Dan Kelly did survive the fire at Glenrowan in Victoria how did Dan Kelly get into Queensland???
Can anyone 100% proof that it was Dan Kelly was alive after the fire???as well did Ned Kelly survive too....because I don’t know much about the Australian history that is because I didn’t have much school in my birth country which Is Holland not even in Australia... as well I might add is when I went to the primary state school in Australia okay..the teacher(s) taught us was that the British people were here first this is 100% false because the Dutch explores where here in the 1660’s era so to me is all the teachers should go back to school & learn the true facts but the Dutch explores didn’t want Australia that is why the British took it!!! And I might add is Hawaii was formerly known as the Sandwich Islands is that is where the captain James Cook was speared on his last voyage
It doesn't say much, does it?
Dan kelly did not die from the fire in the glenrowan inn he did remarry and had a daughter
I find this very interesting, i always wondered why Ned came from the scrub and single handedly took on the police. Was it to create a diversion so Dan and Steve could make their escape.
It would seem that Mates do not leave mates unless for a good reason, after all Ned was the older brother and the Man they most wanted.
In a statement to the police after the the siege and capture of Ned, Ned said thee boys would fight to the death.
Maybe he wanted the Police to believe that they died as he knew otherwise.
Could anyone tell me what is the name of the book that Anonymous is talking about or if it w as ever published
