Classification: Query
Seek any & all info re this family. Belfast records of 1805 show Alex Finlay as soap boiler @ 10 Hanover Quay (Customs House Quay). The Belfast Traders Directories show them in business up through 1913 often moving e.g. High St, Ann St,Victoria Square. In 1848 Belfast/Holywood RR opened. About that time John Finlay purchased in Holywood "Tudor Hill" 11 acres house & farm. In 1900 Finlay family purchased "Willesdon" That's all the info I've been able to gather. I live in Californa so can't explore around on my own. All I have is the internet. My mothers family is all County Down & Antrim so I'm comfortable with Ulster history. Supposedly family "died out" after WW2. Info greatly appreciated. Doug Vernon
