Robert,
I have been looking for an Ireland connection to our Finnie who married in Dalry, Ayrshire, Scotland, about 1860.
Martin Finnie married Margaret Wallace and 3 or 4 of their children were born in Dalry, or Beith. After the 1861 census, where they were in Dalry, they left for London Ontario Canada. They are there in the 1881 Census. After this they came to USA, living out their lives in Topeka, Kansas.
Martin's tombstone says County Sligo. Can you tell me where Nellie Finnie McLaughlin was born? I will be visiting Ireland and Scotland later this month, and would love to find the villages. Thank you
