William Campbell Finlay
« on: Thursday 25 May 23 17:45 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone can help please.  I am currently trying to help a relative who knows nothing at all about her paternal father's family and so is eager to find some information.  I have located the family as far gt.grandfather William Campbell Finlay, born 1849 Morpeth, Northumberland.  He married Frances Marley at All Saints Church, Newcastle in 1870 and I have the family to date.  Where I am really hitting a brick wall is trying to find William Campbell's parents with any certainty.  I don't seem to be able to locate his parents on the 1851 or 1861 Census so perhaps some of our more experienced researchers than I may be able to untangle for me and would be very grateful of any assistance.

Many thanks.

I assume this is the birth registration but sadly no mothers maiden name?

FINLAY, WILLIAM       - 
GRO Reference: 1848  S Quarter in THE HEXHAM UNION  Volume 25  Page 317

I do not see another in the County?
