Author: WendyBaker88 Surnames: Finn Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.ireland.arm.general/9358.1.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hi Chris My greatgreatgrandfather was Henry Finn born about 1841 Portadown Ireland. He was an assisted emigrant who sailed out from Queenstown on the 12th April 1864 onboard the "Sultana" and arrived on Thursday 18th August 1864 in Maryborough Queensland. I cannot find out what he did between 1864 and 1870, but he had a child, Robert in 1871 to my greatgreatgrandmother out of wedlock but married her in 1872 in Toowoomba Queensland. They had another 9 children at Stanthorpe Queensland, he was a miner there.In all there was Robert, Mary, Emily (Died aged 2), Rachel, William (Died aged 2 1/2), Maud (my greatgrandmother),Victor, Walter, and Henry George, there was also an unnamed child who died at childbirth. I have more info on his wife and children but none of Henry's early life in Northern Ireland, he died in 1896 in Bundaberg Queensland Australia. On Henry's death certificate his father's name was Robert Finn and his mother's name was Rachel Weir.Is this the Henry Finn you have in yo! ur Family Tree if so, here is my email address [email protected] Regards Wendy Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
