In the 1911 census of Ireland, there were only 31 Finucane’s in the whole of the county of Cork, seemingly split over 11 households.
1 lived in a convent in Queenstown - a 20 year old nun called Bride Finucane (no chance of descendents there then!)
1 was a retired accountant called George Finucane, from Ennis
1 was a Finucane kid called Kate, a grandchild staying with a family of Sweeny’s in Barley Hill.
5 were in a family of 5 Finucane’s with a Sweeny staying with them (so I guess they were related to the kid above!) in the Newmarket area.
1 was a Finucane called Frank, a visitor from England in a household of O’Brian’s,
9 of them lived in 3 households in the same district of Kilmeen as the Finucane’s in the Griffiths Valuation – Glentanefinnane
6 of them were a family of Finucanes living in New Street, Newmarket.
6, were a family of Finucanes living in the Inchantotane area of Clonfert East.
1 was a widow called Abina Finucane, living alone in Inchantotane – probably related to the family above.
What’re the chances the descendents of some of those very few groups are still there and were related to my lot?
