From the DIB ...
" ... In April 1836 he was apprenticed attorney to John Henry Quinn of Newry, and fell in love with Jenny Verner (qv) (under Mitchel), barely sixteen years old. In November 1836 they eloped but were discovered in Chester, and Mitchel spent eighteen days in Kilmainham jail on a charge of abduction. They eloped again and on 2 February 1837 were secretly married at Drumcree, Co. Armagh. Jenny was disowned by the Verners, but accepted by the Mitchels, and the young couple settled in Newry. .. "

National Library of Ireland on The Commons Yes indeed. I am reading all about it and trying to find exactly where. Somewhere near Bothwell, Tasmania, in Nant Cottage on 200 acres. Near the current Nant Distillery ? - maps.app.goo.gl

" Nant Cottage
Mitchel searched the Bothwell district for a house and farm that could accommodate his family and decided on a 200-acre property called Nant, located on the Clyde River, which he stocked with sheep and cattle. Nant Cottage is located nearly three miles from Bothwell village and here the family resided in relative peace surrounded by rich pastoral land, rolling hills and a view of the steep escarpment of the surrounding mountains in the distance.
