Ann FINUCANE b. Circa 1828 in Ireland
I am looking for anyone searching the FINUCANE family living in Dublinin the 1850’s and more recently, together with anyone researching FINUCANES in Co Kerry and Co Clare - in fact the whole of IRELAND!
My ancestor, Ann FINUCANE (but have found references to her here in Aust with the spelling of Kinucane, Finnucane, O’Finucan, Finnucan, Fanucan, Kanucan, Phucan, Fenican, Farnucan, Finikin, Phanucan, etc)emigrated to Aust in 1850 aboard the William Stevenson which departed England in 1850.Ann, born circa 1828-34 "at sea" according to her Death Certificate (but can find no record on IGI of birth at sea for her) was, we think, the youngest of 3 orphan sisters (Mary Anne b. circa 1828 Ireland, and Sarah Henrietta born circa 1832 Ireland ) who were residing in Dublin just prior to emigration (but don't know if originally from there or somewhere else in Ireland) and were sent to Australia (on separate ships in the same year) after the death of their parents,John or Thomas or James and Ellen ?? Finucane, who,by my calculations, both died pre 1851 in Ireland.Not even sure where in Ireland, I just know that two sisters were living in Dublin just prior to their emig’n to Oz.Ann may not have been an orphan sister to Mary Anne and Sarah Henrietta FINUCANE but we are discounting nothing until more info learnt as we only have a family rumour to go on.Ann’s death certificate doesn’ help either with her parents names but interestingly it states she was “Born at Sea”.
Anyway, Ann arrived in NSW in late 1850, unassisted - perhaps her sisters paid her way out, we can't be sure and records can't be found) and was married in May 1851 at Sydney to aGeorge William Cook of England.She died in 1898.Her first child was Michael William Cook.
Family History Societies here in Oz and Birth Death and Marriage records have been checked as have the Birth Certificates of first couple of children - all the info known is as posted here.
I would love to hear from anyone searching theFINUCANE name.I've really hit a brick wall and Finucane sources here in NSW, Aust, and all contacts, can help no further.There are many FINUCANE descendants here in NSW but all seem to trace their origins toa Michael FINUCANE - I don’t seem to be related here in Oz but perhaps am further back in Ireland.
Any suggestions re research or info will be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes
CHERYLANNE
