Re: Obit: Barbara WOODWARD (nee FINN): bn 1928 MA, died Jan 2006 - JAMES SHEPHERD FINN

aurelius20 — 2013-05-13 00:53:37Z

I am researching Joseph Shepherd Finn , born 1919, who was Barbara Finn Woodward's brother. He died in 1982 in Los Angeles CA. Barbara was the informant on the death certificate. According to the certificate, he was "never married".
I am looking for relatives of Joseph, his brother James Finn, or decendants of his father Joseph M. Finn (also shown as M. Joseph Finn ) who died in Manchester MA in 1961.
According to the Massachusetts Town and Vital Records, M. Joseph Finn was born in 1887 County Cork Ireland. Wife Helen M. Murphy born about 1893 in Ireland.

Yes, I found Donald's obit a few years ago, however i have not been able to make contact with the correct children named. I do have a new lead and it sounds promising :) Barbara was born in Newton and not Washington as the one obituary implies.
Thank you for your help

Re: Obit: Barbara WOODWARD (nee FINN): bn 1928 MA, died Jan 2006 - Place of Death?

bufflestumper — 2013-05-13 00:51:10Z

Hi Danielle -- thanks for the reply. Just out of curiosity (or, in other words, a strong tendency to snoop around which infects a lot of us genealogists!), I did a web search for this family and found the obituary of Barbara's husband, Donald, which was published in the Kitsap Sun in Washington state in March 1998. It's online here: http://web.kitsapsun.com/local/obits/march98.html although access to the website requires registration (which is free).

Were you aware of this one?

The obit has some biographical info about Mr. WOODWARD and mentions/names one son and two daughters as well as a brother and sister and where they were living at the time.

It also mentions that Barbara FINN was born in 1924 in Seattle and that they married in August 1948 in Newton which I assume is Washington state but it does not specify. There are a few other family details in there as well.

The reason I'm paraphrasing instead of posting the whole obit is that there is a copyright notice on the website and I don't want to violate that.

Hope this helps. As I said, I have no connection to this family. Just curious, that's all! Andrea

Mistic667Deuce0199 — 2013-05-13 00:50:28Z

hi Andrea,
I am not sure which newspapers it was printed in. I couldn't find a reference to one. I found the obituary by coincidence while searching for an article on the Boston Globe website. It had a link to search nationwide obituaries on Legacy.com. I am also assuming that she died in Seattle Washington. I do know her husband died in 1998 in Kennewick Wa. I have been looking for this family for a few years and am trying to make contact with them. If I find out more details later I will definitly post an update. Hope this helps someone else :)

bufflestumper — 2013-05-13 00:49:34Z

Hello Danielle -- thanks for posting this info but I notice it does not include a place of death. After reading the details, I assumed Mrs. WOODWARD died in Seattle since this is where her funeral took place but maybe this is a wrong assumption. Can you please reply with confirmation of the place of death?

Also, I notice that this obit was originally published in print. It may be helpful for others to know what newspaper this was.

I have no connection to this family at all. I am merely trying to clarify the info. Regards, Andrea (admin for FINN Surname Board)

See if you can get a copy of Enterprising Migrants by S.M. Ingham. Its about the Finn's & FitzGerald's who can from the Castlegregory area, Dingle peninsula, Kerry. John Finn (1792-1849) settled in New South Wales, but I cannot remember if any of his descendants settled in Victoria. I know some of the FitzGerald's did!

2013-04-16 12:02:46Z

Hi, on my paternal grandmothers side we have the name Finn - this is what I have so far.

Jeremiah Finn (b 1816 Ireland) married Mary ? (b 1831-4, Rockfield, Ireland). Their children were Daniel, Dennis, Mary, Cornelius (b1863), Ellen (b1866) and Jeremiah

Cornelius married Sarah Jane Collins *b1870) and had the following children - Beatrice, Leonard, Richard, Herbert Stanley, May, Ellen, Norman and Mildred.
( Herbert married Francis Audrey Tonkin, my great grandmother)

Ellen married ? Hutchinson and lived in Australia for some time. They had a child, Mabel, born in Australia and then he must have died and she came back home with her child as a widow, to live with her mum, Mary.

Hopefully there will be a link somewhere!

Thomas Finn, Married to Johanna Fitzgerald is the 3rd great grandfather of my husband (I am researching his tree on his behalf due to his lack of time). I know the Mahony's/Finns came from County Limerick. So far what evidence points to them being from Kilbehenny, a parish, in the barony of Costlea, but has yet to be confirmed.

My father-in-law, Michael G. Finn was born July 3, 1907 in

Thomas and Patrick who raised their families in England.
His sister Mary immigrated to NY as did Michael. They had
a brother Eugene who died in infancy. He had an Aunt Julia

Re: Thomas Finn & Joan Phillips family of Yorkshire

finney300 — 2013-04-04 11:21:52Z

Hello,

I just tripped over the site. You can see from the surname a common interest. My grandad was John Finn, I think he was brother to Thomas, born in Batley and regular attenders of Mass at St Mary's of the Angels. I believe Thomas went to India to run a textile mill. I also think that he travelled and worked in New Zealand and was pretty successful. He was my Dad, Terence's uncle.

I think they returned to live in the midlands somewhere (rumour has it in a grand house on National Trust land - Worcestershire I think).

I met him once at my Grandad's funeral in 1979.

I am NOT RELATED to the following mentioned person/family whose extracted information appears below. The information below is also, ALL the information I have for the person/family. I'm posting it in case it's of some interest or help to someone else.

Prior to mid 1921 in RI, BMD were recorded in ledger style books, first at the municipal level & then, at the end of the year, a copy also ledger style was created & turned in to the state as the state's official copy.

I've just gotten a copy of a set of pages from one such ledger style book for the City of Providence for births occuring in the year ending Dec. 31st, 1892 & registered in the City of Providence. The ledger book pages are numbered 132 - 133 & the volume # is 15.

The columns are headed, "Registered at; Date of Birth - for all the year is 1892; Full Name of Child; Sex; Color; No. of the Child; Place of Birth; Ward; Names of Parents; Ages of Parents; Occupation of Father; Birth Place of Father; Birth Place of Mother"

Re: George Finn

wesslingbaker — 2013-02-10 19:32:45Z

Hi,
Sorry I haven't checked in a couple of months! Thank you for delving into this tangle. I have found 19 people given as children of John or "Jhon" Page, all christened in Chilham, Kent. Given the dates, I had assumed the older ones must be children of the elder John Page and Elizabeth Maxted (m.1585, the only John Page marriage I could find in the time frame). Similarly, I assumed the younger ones were probably the children of the younger John (b.1587/88). Where the separation is, I'm not sure -- probably around 1607/08, when another John is born, and Elizabeth and Robert Page are christened within 2 months of each other (Robert being elder John's last child, Elizabeth being younger John's first child)? Of course, there is also a good chance that there may have been more than one John Page in each generation.

John Page -- ch.1 Jan 1588
Anne Page -- ch.14 Jun 1590
Thomas Page -- ch.9 Jul 1592
Henrye Page -- b. or ch. 1 Apr 1594, d. or bur. 13 Jul 1594 (same as: Henry Page -- ch.1 May 1594; unknown which date is correct)
William Page -- ch.30 Jan 1598
Mary Page -- ch.14 Jan 1599
Moses Page -- ch.1 Jun 1600, bur.16 Mar 1602
Edmond Page -- ch.24 May 1601
Mathewe Page -- ch.24 or 29 Apr 1603
Sara Page -- ch.27 Aug 1604
Francis Page -- ch.17 Mar 1605
Jhon [sic] Page -- ch.24 Mar 1607
Elizabeth Page -- ch.24 Apr 1608
Robert Page -- ch.26 Jun 1608
Margaret Page -- ch.16 Sep 1610
Susan Page -- ch.19 Feb 1615
Robert Page -- ch.14 Mar 1619
Ann Page -- ch.12 Aug 1621
Mildred Page -- ch.21 Nov 1624

You're right, it is very hazy. I am very interested in your "list of spouses" for Elizabeth Maxted. Who are they, and how did you find them?

Again, sorry for taking so long to reply. Feel free to email directly if you want.

Thomas Finn & Joan Phillips family of Yorkshire

I'm looking for details of my in-laws: Joan PHILLIPS married Thomas FINN in Batley, Yorkshire. Shortly afterwards they moved to Bangalore, India where 3 children were born: Timothy, Katherine and Jane. They came home some 5-6 years later.
Joan had sisters Sheilah, Cissie (may not be her given name) and brother Tom. Other than that, I have no information. Though Yorkshire born, they were proud of their Irish Catholic ancestry. If anyone can help, would be deeply grateful.

I have been able to research my Finn family back to the townland of Kilbarry, Parish of Dunmanway, County Cork Ireland. I have been able to find the baptismal records for 5 of William & Honora (Cotter) Finn's children from St Patrick's between 1841 & 1851. Any additional information on the Finn's or Cotter's would be appreciated. The family emigrated to the USA in September of 1852 eventually settling in the Detroit (Hamtramck) Michigan area.

Re: George Finn

raevickers — 2012-12-11 06:23:15Z

On William Finn's original Baptism papers, both William and George are listed as Finne. In the translation, when the records were transcribed, it changes to Finnis ... All the dates match our George and William, and it is from the Chilham Parish. This may be how things have gotten a little hazy. I have tried adding Elizabeth Maxted to my tree to see if it opened any doors. She is listed as being married to umpteen different Johns, all with different surnames. The John Page on her list of spouses does not have a son John with Elizabeth...which of course may mean nothing as she could have been married previously, had a son John and he took the name Page.

Hello all,
I don't think the ancestry of George Finn and his wife Ann Page is unreadable. I have been searching through the American website, www.familysearch.org (the Mormon church), which includes a record for the birth of George Fynne, baptised in 1614 in Egerton, Kent, a son of Thomas Fynne. I have been trying to ascertain whether this Egerton George is the same as our Chilham George. Also, Ann Page was almost certainly the daughter of John Page of Chilham, baptised in 1621. John Page, in turn, was probably the son (baptised in Chilham 1587) of John Page, Sr. and Elizabeth Maxted. If anyone wants to contact me about this family, my email is

I am a descendant of George and Ann's son John Finn, who married Ann Osmire. Their son John and their daughter Mrs. Elizabeth Hoare are both my ancestors.
