Being Researched by Gaye Dwyer gayd@froggy.com.au
of 4 Luisa Court, Melton South,
VIC 3338, Ph. 03-9746 0678. She is helping her elderly cousin with her research.
Patrick and his wife Bridget and family settled in Birdhill, Tipperary. It is believed
that there are still Caplis's living in the Birdhill area, which is near Newport.
In 1836, Patrick and his brother Michael were charged with the manslaughter of a Michael
Carey. Patrick was sentenced to transportation for life and Michael was pardoned. Both
were wheel-wrights and carpenters. It is believed that this is why Michael may have been
pardoned, as Birdhill was only a small parish and could not afford to lose tradesmen.
In 1839 Patrick applied to the New South Wales government for permission for his wife and
children to join him. It is unclear what happened with the request, but it is known that
Bridget never came to Australia. In later years his sons John and William did come to
Australia but nothing is known of what happened to his other children.
Patrick took a common law wife and died in Geelong. There is no marriage certificate and
the details on his Death Certificate are vague.
