Thank you for your time sweet caroline. The name Robert is a possibility. I'll check it out.

As there were Finnies' in 18c Argyll ,I would think there is an Irish/Scottish connection.

Hi Diane, I've merged your last topic to your previous topic from a few days ago concerning the same surname.

Here's a bit of reading for you concerning the Finnie surname : https://www.geni.com/discussions/64206

Can anyone tell me if there is a connection between the Irish Finnie family and the Scottish Finnie family?

Thank you sweet caroline. Other than what I posted, which is one branch of my family, I know other branches, and possibly this one (Scotland & Ireland) originated back to a Jeffery Finney (1532-1586) in Lenton, Nottinghamshire, England who was married to Ellen Smedley (1540-1606). It has been a difficult family to sort out. Thank you for the 2 sites you shared for me to check out. I may get lucky.

Thank you JD. I know what you mean by the changing of the names. I will have to try a few other variations.

There were also a lot of Finnies' in Greenock that had sailings to Ireland and America. What 1800's records have you in England or Scotland ? Also Finnies' in Argyll.

This is a free site that might help .Not all records survived in Ireland.If record survived then it should be listed.

Best of Luck
Edit-Another site that might be helpful.

Hi Diane.
Just a thought.
My wife works with the historical records for the city archive.
She often comments that the writing is illegible and that the spelling often changes between generations.
My own family has an example of this. When my maternal grandmother's family came to Scotland from Ireland at the end of the 19th century, Loy became Molloy.
You have provided several versions of Finnie. You might try to broaden your scope of potential spellings.
Findley came to mind, a very common Scots surname.

JD.
