Source, aged 77 at death in 1879.

Derry FHC Civil Deaths record shows a John Finlay, of Ringrashmore, died 02/05/1869, male, married, 77 years, farmer, died of Bronchitis after 6 months, a Peter Finlay of Ringrashmore was PAD and the death was registered in Articlave.  However, a Peter Finlay, from Ringrash, was married to my John Finlay's daughter, Isabella Finlay, so this John may well be Peter's father, and not my John Finlay.

The index to Civil Deaths for the Coleraine District shows a John FinlEy, who died in 1875, aged 77.  Furthermore, the GVRBs show that my John Finlay was scored out in 1875, which fits.  This could be my John Finlay but there are no shortage of Finlays in the Coleraine area so it could equally be someone else.  Turns out it wasn't my John.  SS found the death notice for this man in the Coleraine Chronicle and it says he was from Ballynacannon in Macosquin Parish.  When checked on the Griffiths Valuation, sure enough, the WAS a John Finlay in Ballynacannon so this must have been that John.

Finally found John's obit Coleraine Chronicle Saturday 2/22/1879
Feb. 15,1879 Finlay at his residence Long Commons Coleraine John (late of Ballystrone, Dunboe) farmer, aged 77.
Enjoyed our day in Coleraine. I left my Finlay stone in your car. Please save until next I return.
Will be in touch soon.

From SS:
Mary Anne Finlay died 1/3/1886, Rosemary Street, Coleraine, age 85, widowed, farmer's wife, old age and debility, uncertified, no medical attendant, Jane Finlay, Ballystrone, Macosquin, daughter, present at death signed x mark  
(I am confused by the death cert of Mary Anne Finlay in 1886.  We had her as the wife of John of Ballystrone.  And yet a Jane Finlay, daughter, was PAD - but we know that her daughter, Jane Finlay, my great great grandmother, was married to Samuel Clements.  SS replied: Mary Ann's death cert confused me also. I found her death notice in the Coleraine Chronicle but lost it on the plane home. It's the same date as the cert and puts her John of Ballystrone. I'll find it again, along with some others I lost, when in Coleraine. I've had other certs that used the maiden name of the woman rather than the married name.)

Macosquin Presbyterian Church Baptismal Register has: Matthew, Eliza and John Finlay, children of John and Mary Anne Finlay of Ballystrone, baptized 22/12/1841.  So, if this lady IS a daughter of my John Finlay, she has to be either born later that the DoB SS has, or the Elizabeth baptised in December 1841 must have died.
