*** Sydney Clibborn Finch (b. 1885 Co. Armagh, N.I. - d. 1951 Chicopee, MA), a local grocer. He was a son of James Finch (b. (ca.) 1844 Co. Armagh, N.I. - d. 1926 Chicopee, MA) & Jane McCullagh Finch (b. (ca.) 1842 Co. Armagh, N.I. - d. 1921 Chicopee, MA). In 1901, the family lived at 38 Charlemont Square, Camlough, Armagh, N.I. Sydney had three elder sisters: Lizzie Finch (1877-1965), Jane "Jennie" Finch (1877-1964), and Margaret Finch (b. 1882). After James' death in 1926, Lizzie & Jennie lived at 129 Grape St., for the duration of their lives. James was employed in 1901 was a yarn bundler, Jane was a homemaker, the three daughters worked as linen weavers, and Sydney was an apprentice yarn bleacher. James & Jane, and their four youngest children were all registered as PB in 1901, and they emigrated to Chicopee, MA in 1907 so that would suggest the PB existed in Chicopee as early as 1907.
