Beatrice FINLAY - look up please
« on: Friday 13 February 09 21:06 GMT (UK) »
I ma new to Australia board!

I am looking for Beatrice Finlay on passenger list from Australia to London, England. She arrived in London in 1939. Beatrice was born in 1891 in London, England as Beatrice McCann. She married few times and I hope Finlay was her last surname. I don't know the christian names of Mr Finlay.

Please can you look up for Beatrice? I don't know where to find her on Australian records.

Can you help?

thank you

Welcome  to  the Aussie Board

Can you  help us about a bit  by  giving her parents  names helps with  the death search.

Also  what part of Australia does  the record say she came from?

thank you!

She came from Brisbane I think.

Her parents were George McCann and Emma Turton - they were British. They didn't go to Australia at all.

Just Beatrice and maybe one of either Brit or Aussie husbands came back to England in 1939 mayve with children - don't know if there were.

Sorry bit hopekess here

Hi,
This enlistment for ww2 might be of interest.
If he is her son, she was a young mother ;D


Name MCCANN, FREDERICK FINLAY 

Next of Kin -MCCANN, BEATRICE 

Now, it is interesting that this man is using his mother's former name.[IF]!!
http://www.ww2roll.gov.au

On the National Archives website you will find a ww1 service record for a chap named FREDERICK FINLAY. He is in the navy and  was born in New Zealand in 1881.
His next of kin is his wife Beatrice Maud Finlay
Was you woman's middle name MAUD?
