My Margaret Finn was the daughter of Patrick Finn who was born in 1800. His wife was Catherine Fay born in 1805. That is all I know. I am sure that Margaret had siblings, but have no knowledge of them.....hope this helps...Billie

Hi Billie,
           I dont think this is my Finn family I will keep your family details they might fit in later in my research .
I know there is other Finn's in the area related  a niece Marianne Finn 1799-1865. founded a convent for the Loreto Order at Leek in Staffordshire England   I still have to find her parents.
Thank you for sharing with me  and good luck in your research . regards    Starr in Australia.
