Hi Jacky,
Do you have any further information on him? I have checked the 1901 census for Lancashire and can only find two possibilities with a father John -one in Salford and one in Liverpool but neither has a father for a soldier. There are non with the middle name of Bernard or B nor are there any that has a "missing father". Was he born in Lancashire?
Regards,
Mo

Hi
Can you clarify the spelling of his surname? Your original message has both Finnegan and Finnigan
I suspect he may have been born in Ireland but you could check the full GRO index for a birth around 1891-1893. Although you may find a number of John's - it should have his second christian as well which will help

Thankyou for you quick replies !! :)
Sorry, he has Finnegan on his wedding cert, the early children had this on thier b cert but the later children had Finnigan......... ???
Have looked in the full BMD - no success,
I will go down the Irish root now
Take Care !!

Hi
Are you still looking into the Finnigan / Finnegan family?
My G Grandfather, Patrick Finnigan was born in the Ballinasloe area of Ireland but married in Salford, England in1859.
One of his sons was called John, born about 1863 and he had a younger brother Thomas, born 1879, my grandfather.
Patrick's father was called John and was born in Ireland I presume.
I would be grateful for any exchange of information.
Thanks

Hiya arthriticdonkey.
I have just lately found the family originate from Dundalk in Louth. My grandfather was born in Liverpool, although on his b cert it says John Bernard Finnegan, he was always called Bernard.
Sorry, it looks like we dont have a link.
Good Luck with your research :)
Jacky
