From Irish genealogy.ie - William Henry Finlay of Cornmarket, St. Catherine. Father - George Finlay, Mother - Susannah. This reference clearly shows that George Finlay was living at the Cornmarket in Dublin in 1772.

From Dublin City Archives, an email dated 5 March 2003, “ While searching for George and William Henry in the Freedom Rolls, fortunately I made a note of other Finlay’s who are very likely related, so the list between 1775 to 1820 is as follows:

George Finlay, Hosier, admitted by Special Grace, Michaelmas (Oct.) 1780. William Finlay, Hosier, admitted by Birth, Christmas 1782. William Henry Finlay, Hosier, admitted by Special Grace, MidSummer 1802. Edward Finlay, Hosier, admitted by Birth, Michaelmas 1807. John George Finlay, Hosier, admitted by Special Grace, Christmas 1813.”

The official title of these records is : Dublin City Assembly Freedom Rolls, Volume 5, 1774-1819. More information can be found @ Dublin City.ie.
