Hi Debbie,
You may want to consider the 1901 census entries for Finley in Huron County which are shown below.The entries appear to be for the same family, with slightly different information.
I have included some additional information on a Finley family in Huron County that appeared on the 1881 census.If the 1901 census entry is William's family, then the 1881 entry may have been his grandparents, but you will have to get proof.There were very few Finleys/Finlays in that part of Huron County.
If William and Marie were married before 1923, you can obtain their marriage registration from the Ontario Archives in Toronto.The registration will carry the names of their parents.
Regards,
Charlene
