Dec 8, 2010 at 18:15 comment added HJRW The interest of Deligne's example is not that it isn't residually finite. The interest is that it's a non-residually finite group which is a central extension of a residually finite (indeed, linear) group.

Dec 8, 2010 at 18:12 comment added ndkrempel A few points: you haven't said anything about $H$, for example it could be the trivial subgroup. In general, the largest such $H$ I thought was called the finite residuum of $G$ (although that doesn't seem very popular with Google), and is the intersection of all finite index subgroups of $G$. The distinction you make betewen "every finite index subgroup" and "every finite index normal subgroup" turns out not to matter - you can always drop by a finite index to gain normality (this doesn't depend on finite generation).
