My great uncle, Joseph Francis Finnie, was born at Scissett, near Huddersfield, in 1887. But he seems to have disappeared from the public record in 1911, when that year's census described him as a 24 year old gardener working at Mentmore Towers, in Buckinghamshire. There is a possibility that he went to the United States or Canada, and may have married out there. A member of the Finnie family ran the Four Provinces bar in Washington. He could be Joseph or related to Joseph. Joseph's parents were Andrew and Margaret Finnie, both from Sligo though they married in England and lived at Scissett and Skelmanthorpe. Joseph Francis Finnie's siblings included my grandfather, Bernard Joseph Finnie, born in 1890 at Nortonthorpe, Scissett, Yorkshire. I would be very grateful if anyone can find out what happened to Joseph Francis Finnie. Did he emigrate to the US? Did he marry? And when and where did he die? |
