: I have found the marriage of Honora Finn to<br>: Patrick Higgins, Feb 14, 1871<br>: Honora Finn of Buckhill, Father: Martin Finn<br>: Patrick Higgins of Leitrim, Father: John.<br>: Can anyone tell me the Mother's name of Patrick<br>: Higgins or His date of birth. Or any other<br>: information on this family of Finn/Higgins?<br><b><br>Hi Linda,<br>I'm not sure where you found that record, but I <br>also have record of that marriage. Although I<br>cannot answer your specific question regarding the<br>mother's name, I can tell you that I have strong<br>belief that the Buckhill Finns are related to my<br>Lisduff Finns. Researching back, I have found <br>data that strongly suggests one or more of my<br>great grandfather's siblings took up residence in<br>the townland of Buckhill. This would mean that<br>there is a good possibility that your Honora Finn<br>is related to my Lisduff Finns. No document "proof"<br>as yet, but I am working on it.<br>It shouldn't be too hard for us to acquire some<br>information on the baptism of Patrick Higgins. A<br>logical guess would be that his birth would have<br>been somewhere close to 1840. My church record<br>does not give the date, however the GRO just might<br>have his age listed (if we're lucky). We could<br>start researching the church records in the area<br>and see if his baptism shows up.<br>I just did a search of the Griffiths database and<br>there are a few good leads that come up if you look<br>up the surname Higgins in Leitrim, Co. Roscommon.<br>It would appear that the Father (John) is listed<br>in the database. There are two Johns listed, and<br>one of them has his father's name listed (Carby).<p>While vacationing in Ireland in 1996, I visited <br>with my Finn relatives in the townlands of Lisduff<br>and Cloonfad and was treated to many stories regarding<br>the Buckhill Finns. My relatives speak of them as<br>not being related, but I find this very hard to<br>believe, especially in light of my research which<br>appears to put some of my Finns in the Buckhill area.<p>Please stay in touch, as I would like to persue<br>this Finn connection with you.<br><br>Ed Finn<br><br>efinn@thecore.com<p>
