Patrick H. Fineran

[Finneran]

I am trying to find some links to my Great-grandfather; Patrick H. Finneran. For some reason the extra "n" was dropped. Recorded in a parish centennial book is some information: Patrick's mother and father were Catherine and John, both of County Galway. Patrick was born Feb. 4th, 1864 in Kilbegnet, Roscommon; he married Bridget Mathers (possibly Madders)in 1864. Bridget is noted to have been from Glenamadda. My father has stated that Patrick came over with some siblings also. This was in 1866, where he moved to Scarton, PA, then to Whiteside county, ILL and finally setteled in Vail, IA. They had 14 children: Mary, Timothy, Bridget(Bessie), Catherine(Katie), Margaret(Maggie), John(Johnnie), Anna Mae, James, Patrick, William, Martin, Michael, Harry, Charles. I have the children's approximate dates of birth/death and whom they married. I would appreciate any inquiry or information regarding any and everything Finneran/Fineran related.

Since you know that Patrick was born in 1864 in<br>Kilbegnet Parish, Co. Roscommon, I went looking for <br>his birth registration in government records. During <br>1864 I found only one Patrick Fineran birth registered <br>in Co. Roscommon. It was registered in Athlone<br>Registration District. This registration is on <br>page 7 of volume 8 of 1864 births. Volume 8 is<br>on LDS microfilm number: FHL 0101087. <p>You seem to know just about everything about his<br>birth except his townland, and the government<br>birth registration would supply that.<p>Glenamaddy Poor Law Union is located just north<br>of Kilbegnet Parish. You can see them via the<br>map page on this site.<p>Tom Voyles<br>

Mr. Voyles,<br> Thanks for the great information. I made an error when I posted the original message about my Great-grandfather's birthday. I have two records that state he was born in 1840 in Galway, and in his Obituary, it states he was born Feb. 25th, 1845 in Kilbegnet, Roscommon. Very confusing and difficult since I don't have the ability to access any hard-copy records. Thanks again!!
