Wondering if there are any Flynn's still living in the Castlefinn area? My Great Grandfather John Flynn was from here and I would love to meet relatives when I visit in May. He was I believe, born and died in Castlefinn. He had a spinster sister called Margaret. He married Eleanor (Ellen, Helen) Docherty from Mount Charles. Several of their children were born there before they moved to Glasgow. Thankyou

  • Thankyou very much for this. I was over in Donegal in May visiting the area my family came from. I found the church where Eleanor and John married. In the register it did not name his or her parents, so I was stuck. Do you mind me asking how you found the info. Did it give any more info re Mary Jane? Many Thanks again
