Convict Notes
William Lehane from Victoria was married to Fanny Hogan and he came from Tipperary --so presumably not the convict above, although his birth and death dates are similar.
There is a William Lehane who died in Vic in 1879 who's age could match this convict. He was from Ireland originally. And went by the name Lyons and Lehane???

William LEHANE was originally sent to New South Wales in 1819 for seven years, aboard the Mary 2, on a charge of vagrancy. This timeline begins with his original sentence in 1818, under his first identity - William LYONS. It follows him up to his death in 1848 when he was, once again, known as William LYONS.
