Re: Finn Family, Nelson St
If Colin Finn is the one living in Rishton and his father had a shop on Blackburn Road, which was army surplus and called 'Cumanavaluk' during the war and just after, then maybe we are related as Colin Finn is my second cousin.

Re: Finn Family, Nelson St
There was an Anthony (Tony) Finn who attended Woodnook School in the 1950s, but I don't know where he lived. He was a tall lad who later joined the TA at Church. Don't know how much Irish was in his family but he often referred to Finn McCool...

Re: Finn Family, Nelson St
If at Woodnook School, he is a likely candidate. I have not yet pursued these leads - too busy with other matters.
