For James Finlen Snr and Mary Caroline - I do have Census data with sons James, William and Mary Caroline - however family name is transcibed and Finlon/Tomlin etc

Beverley

William first married Fanny Martin in 1883 in Brentford, Middlesex England but she died after giving birth to their first child Rose Ada in 1884.

William then married my G-Grandmother Jesse (ie) Eddy and they migrated to Australia and landed in Perth, WA

Census details re any of the Finlens very sketchy. Variations in spelling.

I do know there are about 100 newspaper articles about James' and William's father - also James Finlen. He was involved in Chartist movement and Fenian cause in mid 1850's. I have a vast amount of newspaper articles on James Snr.

William Finlen b 10 June 1860 in West Hackney Middlesex England.
James Finlen b March 1859 in Manchester, Lancashire, England.

Parents: James Finlen b 1830 poss London and
Mary Caroline Magee b 1836 in Newcastle, England, United Kingdom.
James and Mary Caroline married 1858 in St John, Northumberland, Tyne and Wear, United Kingdom.

:))))))

maybe a check on the 1891 census for the address may find who is still living there.

If you know more about William such as parents/birth/wife/death etc....we might be able to help

Let us know......

English death certs dont give the place of birth or the fathers name.
A child's death cert will say son or daughter of and the father but not an adults one.
I have never been able to find Hospital records . Lots of them dont exist any more or if they do you get the run around saying they may be archived but not available.

I have received the death certificate I sent for of a James Finlen who died in 3rd January 1890 aged 29. I thought he may have been a brother of a William (my g_grandfather) but I am none the wiser, unfortunately.

I was so disappointed when the certificate didn’t even give a birth place let alone a father’s name.

An inquest was held on 8 January 1890 and although I am not sure where to look, there may be records concerning this and maybe it was reported in a newspaper as it was an accident. The record states he died in St Bartholomew Hospital and his address looks like 162 Swaines?? Road, Islington.

Some of my family Finlen births were in Islington, which led me to believe that this James was the missing brother of William.

What should I do???? If recoreds still exist from the hospital where can I find them - is anyone able to help me by physially going to a record office in UK, or St Bartholemew Hospital (if it still exists)?

I am in Australia, so a little bit of geographic distance prevents me from going there myself.

As it was an accident I wonder if it was reported in a newspaper? Can anyone help me there?

ANY assistance would be gratefully recieved. He is an enigma ...
