I'm also looking for relatives of Finlay Marquis. Dear Mrs. Cotter. You were right you have relatives that live in Lawton, Oklahoma. Marquerita Marquis my grandmother lives in Lawton she is 93.She had several brothers and one sister Cleo.Brothers Hugh, Elmer, Richard. According to news article I have a news article that states her father was Finley Marquis. He came to America when he was twenty one in the year 1891 on the the ship the Circassia. He was #4 on the passenger list. Grandmother stated that he had a brother who went to Canada. Please write back.
