Roger, thank you very much for this wonderful and helpful information!

Roger, is there a census or another record that might show Patrick Finn's occupation? Ellen Finn's baptismal record you found has the category "Occupation:" on the line with Patrick's name but it is blank. Would he be listed in 1858 Griffiths by any chance?

mem:

The Griffiths Valuation for Kilkenny was conducted in 1849. I checked Graiguenamanagh parish and there were no Finns listed. Likely he was a farmer or farm labourer but there are no existing censuses prior to 1901.

Roger

Thank you, Roger, for the additional helpful information!
