Mr Finnegan was born in either Ireland, Pennsylvania or New York per his son Ambrose's fluctuating census responses.  His unknown wife was born in Ireland per the 1900 Census where that is stated for their son Ambrose.  On his WWII Draft Registration Card, Ambrose Joseph Finnegan states that he was born Jul 11, 1884 in Olyphant, Lacka Co, PA so the family must have been living there at that time.  By the time of the 1900 census, for whatever reason, he is living as nephew with Peter F Roche 44 NY/Ireland/Ireland and his wife Bridget 42 PA/Ireland/Ireland.

Mr Finnegan was born in either Ireland, Pennsylvania or New York per his son Ambrose's fluctuating census responses.  His son, Ambrose Joseph Finnegan, on his WWII Draft Registration Card, states that he was born "Jul 11, 1884 in Olyphant, Lacka Co, PA" so the family must have been living there at that time.  By the time of the 1900 census, for whatever reason, he is living as nephew with Peter F Roche 44 NY/Ireland/Ireland and his wife Bridget 42 PA/Ireland/Ireland.  It's possible both his parents are dead by this time.
  
 
A nephew can exist in this case in four ways.  Ambrose's father is the brother of Peter Roche; Ambrose's mother is a sister of Peter Roche; Ambrose's father is a brother of Bridget or Ambrose's mother is a sister of Bridget.  None of these cases are stand-outs and none can be discarded until we have a primary source stating something more about the Roche family, or identifying Mr Finnegan or his wife more clearly.
