I’ve just heard from the Grandson of Maurice and yeah he remembers that his dad was about 17 when Maurice died and with George J Finnegan being born in 1934 the death of Maurice in 1953 give or take a year is right.
Thanks for all the extra info posted in the last hour also Dathai

... Sarah's birth? (writing is poor but can definitely make out father James, a locksmith):

The address given for James Finegan and Mary Brannan on their daughter Sarah's birth registration in August 1881 (above) was 67 Upper Dominick Street.

Some months later, the Irish Times of Wenesday 12 April 1882 reported the killing of a child named Christina Finigan, hit and run over by a horse and car: 'James Finigan, of 67 Upper Dominick Street, stated that on Monday afternoon, between 3 and 4 o'clock, he was eating his dinner when he heard screams out in the street and almost immediately after a woman carried in the body of the deceased child, who was aged 3 1/2 years.  The child was alive at the time, but senseless, and died about 5 o'clock in the evening in the Mater Misericordiae Hospital... Mary Finigan, the mother of the deceased, stated that the child died in the most fearful agony. She had seven other children.'

In the death registration, Christina was described as a plumbers child:

Christina Finegan was baptised in St. Michan's Dublin on 23 December 1878 (born on 19th), parents given as James Finegan and Mary Brannen of 4 Graham's Row (entry no. 1169):

The 'IrishGenealogy' Church Records section has a number of Dublin baptisms (including addresses) listed for a James Finegan and Mary Brennan, they might be Christina's siblings, eg.  Catherine bap. 1860, Maria bap. 1863, John Joseph bap. 1867, John Christopher bap. 1868, Patrick Joseph bap. 1870, and Sarah Anna bap. 1872 (maybe died early, hence Sarah Anne born in 1881 as previously posted?).

This looks more like the Cave baptisms with Elizabeth born 1856 a twin transcribed as Care
others as Keane,Caves,Caver and Carr  to George and Ellen Rahilly

Going back to the marriage of Maurice in 1922 it tells me that the marriage took place at St Kevin’s Church in what appears to state district 3 of Dublin.
I’ve since had a look on google and it’s indicating 2 St Kevin’s Churches.
Which one would it be?
The one on Bloomfield Avenue or Harrington Street?
Thanks
Phil

Harrington St would have been the bride's parish
