Laois (Queens) / Re: Finnamore in and about Clonaslee, early 1800s

Oh, sorry, one more thing to add to my reply ... the altercation did take place in Clonaslee (newspaper coverage of the trial), and Fawcett took refuge in the house of another Finnamore family there, John's uncle George.

Thanks dathai, I will have a look at that.  When his term was complete, John Finnamore applied to have his family join him in New South Wales.  He gave the address as Queens County, Chapel Row, in the Parish of Kilmanmon.  He also gave the names of local dignitaries who could vouch for him, namely Major Dunn, Rev. Mr. Baldwin and Councillor Dunn.  I found out that the Dunn family came from Kilkmanmon. On that basis I assumed he lived in Queens.  Having said that, when two of his adult children finally emigrated in 1853, their separate addresses were both in Kings County.  I know little of the geography of the region so have no explanation.

Thanks to both Jack2227 and dathai for their information.  John Finnamore was actually transported to New South Wales in 1838.  It is his roots that I am researching.  I am aware that other family members, including an Uncle, remained in the district at least until the time of the famine.  I am hoping to learn more about this connection and very much appreciate your interest.

Hi all,

I am trying to find anyone with knowledge or connection to a Finnamore family that lived in Clonaslee in the early 1800s.  They were Church of Ireland.
