Mary E  Sparks

• Birth Notes

  I am so excited to see all that you sent me!
  Where are you located?
  I am in Goliad, Texas
  I grew up in South Jersey.
  Why is the name Finlow at one point?  Instead of Finlay.
  We will be flying to Ireland on March 18th.
  How would I find the same place where you were standing?
  I have information about Mary Ann Finlay & William Mc Ilfactrick when they lived in Philadelphia.  I have a photo of the large house where they lived.  They had a boarding house for Irish men that would come over to work.  When they could get enough money they would send for their families.  They had six children & four of them had died within a week from an illness.  My mother thought it was typhoid.  I have photos of the children & tombstones in Philadelphia... My grandmother was one of the oldest girls that lived until 1976.  I have photos, etc. if you are interested.
  
  I would love to find the old farm land in Ireland if there is some way to give me directions. It is exciting that I got all this information on my mother's birthday!  She passed away 5 years ago here in Texas.  She would be 99 today!  She was born in 1919.
