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

Here's what I found in the book, The Anglo-Protestants of Megantic County, repertory of births, marriages, and burials, 1826-1991, under supervision of Paul Vachon.
Births 1835 FINLAY, Margaret Simson John FINLAY(miller) & Janet FORSYTH [parents] St-Gilles bapt. Church of England (Leeds) [note: date appears to be for baptism, not birth]

Will post MORRISON finds in another reply. You will have to determine yourself which, if any, are your family.
