looking for parents of Mary Finlay, who married james Morrison, in 1861, St Johnsbury, VT. They raised their family in Megantic. according to the marriage record from VT, she was "from Megantic",,but I find no evidence of even a family present there around this time. mary is said to have been born in Ireland in 1845.
Info on any Finlay from Megantic would be helpful.
Thanks
