Judy McCutcheon wrote about Captain Thompson and his convict assignees.  She mentions a Timothy Fahey and a Bernard Rourke as being assigned to him.  I can confirm this fact as I have them both in my data.  Timothy (also known as Tedy) Fahy was the father of Mary Ann Fahey, the wife of Michael Coffey.  They were my G-Grandparents.
 
They both arrived aboard the Parmelia (2) on 1/3/1834, Master Thomas Gilbert -  Surgeon D. O'Donoghue. 

When they were mustered on board on 5/3/1834 they were numbered as 215 - sick on shore 3  - Lost at sea 2 - Not embarked 2 - Total as per roll 222.  Timothy was aged 35, Single, Native Place - Tipperary, Trade or Calling - Cattle Dealer - Offence - Cow Stealing, Where Tried - Tipperary,  Sentence - Life,  

When Tried - 21/7/1833, Height 5 ft 3 1/2 inches,  Complexion - Ruddy - No Pox,  Hair - Sandy Brown,  Eyes - Hazel.  Small scar top of forehead,  Dark Red Whiskers, small mole on right cheek, small scar left eyebrow, Breast and arms freckles. 

On his ticket of leave dated 11/5/1842 the only difference was in Complexion - Ruddy and much freckled. 

Allowed to remain in District of Queanbeyan on recommendation of Sydney Bench Dated January 42. 

On his Conditional Pardon (48/1392) dated 21 July 1842 his name is still spelt as Fahy.

On his marriage to Mary Anne Whelan (Number 1443 Vol. 92) also as Fahy -  Witnesses to the proceedings were listed as Bernard Rourke of Maneroo and Mary Boyle of Moor Bank.  The wedding took place at Liverpool on 11th June 1842 at the All Saints Roman Catholic Church. 

Timothy Died on 4/9/1869 and the cause of his death was from "the overturning of a dray in which he was seated.  The guard iron falling upon him, breaking 3 ribs and completely destroying the right lung".  The undertaker was my great grandfather (his son-in-law) as I believe that there was no other official undertaker around.  He was buried at the C/E Cemetery, opened in 1860, consecrated 1868, Gededzerick and a headstone was erected by his children a year later.
