The above photo was shared on the Ancestry tree of a distant cousin named Marian Ormont. Recently, I’ve been in touch with a gentleman working on her family tree using DNA to try and figure out who the father of James Finch was.
This photo is of David Finch and his family. David, second from the left in the second row, was my great-great grandfather Elijah Wright Finch’s brother.
David Finch was born 1833 in Upper Canada. He married Deborah Clark in 1854. They had twelve children. The family resided in Glanford Township in Wentworth County, Seneca Township in Haldimand County, Leamington in Essex County, and later Brantford. Like many of the Finches, he was a labourer and a farmer.
David died in 1904 and is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Brantford.
Thanks Marian for sharing this wonderful photo.
