ISO info for my GG Grandfather Ed Finnerty
I am trying to find information on my GG Grandfather Edward Finnerty. DOB around Feb 1819, immigrated to USA in 1850. The one immigration record I have found says his last residence was Sligo but I don’t know for sure if that is where he is from. My oldest brother recently did a Y DNA test and a match did also have a relative from Sligo so it is very possible that is where he was originally from. Parents names are not known but some info may suggest mother’s maiden name was Dougherty. Married Bridget Margaret Walsh in Ohio, USA in 1853. The marriage certificate has his last name spelled Feenaughty but that is the only record with that spelling. Bridget immigrated from Ireland around 1847 to USA. She was supposedly originally from County Cork. They had the following children: Timothy, Mary, Ellen (Ella), James, Anna Catherine, Thomas, Jane Cecilia, Elizabeth, Margaret, Edward, Bridget and Grace (named in birth order).
If anyone can help me with any info to help my search I would really appreciate it.
