Thomas Finucane - Ireland to NZ mid 1800s
Thomas Finucane came out from Ireland around or before 1875 to Wellington, NZ as an Inspector of Prisons. Given the position, he was probably married before he left home (to Mary O'Neil?) but children Benjamin and Josephine (family names perhaps?) were born here.
We don't know exactly where he came from - but am posting this on the off-chance that somebody has an uncle or brother in their family tree who disappeared off to the Anitpodes some time before 1876 (when Ben was born).
Thanks
