w.i.p.

On 26 February 1810 a William Finnaughty was sentenced to imprisonment for larceny (theft). Engand and Wales Criminal registers 1791 - 1892 held at the National Archives under Class HO 26; piece 16, page 32. It is a very feint copy on Ancestry and I cannot work out the terms of the sentence. If he was interned for a few years, this could be why Lucy had the three Ulyate Finaughty children, who dropped the Finaughty name when they emigrated as 1820 Settlers? Henry and Lucy couldn't marry, because William was still potentially alive, but passed themselves off as marrried in the new country? Speculation? ;-)
