Not sure if these are same Finlays...  Alexander Finlay moved to Ireland from Scotland in 1568, settling in Co. Cavan.

---------------------------------------------------


Corkagh demesne was owned by the Finlay family, from about the mid eighteenth century. Their ancestor Alexander Finlay moved to Ireland from Scotland in 1568, settling in Co. Cavan.

Thomas Finlay (1710-1776) of Corkagh established a bank in Dublin, Thomas Finlay & Co. of Jervis Quay (now Ormonde Quay). Members of the Finlay family were active in the military and politics down through the years. Colonel John Finlay was an MP in the Irish House of Commons from 1776-1783. He was also a leader of the Uppercross Fusiliers. Colonel Finlay’s son, Thomas, was a Lieutenant Colonel in the County Dublin Light Infantry. His grandson Henry Thomas Finlay, born 1847 was a Lieutenant Colonel commanding the 5th Battalion of the Royal Dublin Fusiliers. His three sons followed family tradition by joining the army. Sadly, they were all killed in action, Francis in the South African Wars, and George and Robert in WWI. With the deaths of her three brothers, Henry Finlay’s eldest daughter Edith became the heir to Corkagh. In 1909, she married George Pomeroy Arthur Colley, bringing a new family name to Corkagh.

Very Many thanks. Not sure but putting things in line on a tree to see how they link together . Glad we solved the two family issue at Blackley house -- I was getting myself quite confused.
Thank you .

LOL... you were getting confused??

Easier for you to follow "your" tree than those trying to find bits... :-))  Corkagh Demesne certainly looks a POSSIBLE and you can see how the dates compare with your other stuff!
