John Finnie, b.Aberdeenshgre,son of George Finnie and Elizabeth Laird who were married in New Deer in 1837 was the elder brother of my great grandmother Mary Finnie born 1840 in Aberdour, Aberdeenshire.
John married Mary Fraser and died in Aberdeen.Not sure of who their children were but the family may be found there in the 1891 and 1901 census
Mary Finnie had 3 children, Jessie Finnie, Duncan Finnie and Mary Jane Finnie all illegitmate. I have lost the thread of Jessie, she may have gone to Dundee, where Mary and Mary Jane may be found in 1891 and 1901(Lochee) I do not know what happened to Duncan Finnie.
