Hi List, If anyone has any FINLAY/FINLEY ancestors from Dublin City circa 1800 please get in touch. I am particularly interested in any IRISH records, as the Australian information is well established. Also looking for any connection with the following associated names (CONLAN, LAMPREY, MALLET, CALLAN) Having spent over 12 months at the NLI, I have little else to go on. I have two known ancestors I located in a newspaper article (FEB 1815) with following information: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Martin FINLAY Trade: Plumber/Foreman Area: - Working Grange Gorman 1815, Workhouse - employer in Ryder's Lane (Nth Dublin) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Michael FINLAY Trade: Plumbers Assistant Area: - Working Grange Gorman 1815, Workhouse - employer in Ryder's Lane (Nth Dublin) See (sent to Australia) Born: 1790-1793 Abode: possible Near Church Street Co-Worker: John CONLAN Forman: LAMPREY Employer: John MALLET, (address: 8-9 Ryder's Lane Nth Dublin) Arresting Steward: Patrick CALLAN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Ian Finlay Sydney, Australia
