Finley William P           (1804-23/1/1879)

          St Mary's Anglican, Auburn 1837:
            abode Cornwallis; Rachel and Thomas' baptism on 18 June 1837
          St Mary's Anglican, Auburn 1839: John's baptism on 5 Nov 1839
          St Mary's Anglican, Auburn 1843: abode Cornwallis; Hugh's baptism on 15 Oct 1843
          census 1871: born in Ireland, living in Harbourville
            [At least the heading of the census says Harbourville.  But that means Harbourville and district.  Since he used St Mary's so often he probably lived across the line that separated the townships but closer to Auburn than Berwick, probably near Victoria Harbour.  There is no indication that there were any churches in Aylesford villiage at the time, I don't think the villiage began to grow until after the railroad built a station there.- JD]
