Hi Boy Scout
I am a direct decendant of the original Fynney's in South Africa. My Father is Mark Fielding Fynney, his father Erric Warren Fynney, his father Oswald Fynney ect.
Maybe I can help

They all relate to the families in Leek and as a result they were all connected to the Fynney's in some way I suppose. These i think all came from the family book which is the history of the families of the parish of Leek.

I am hoping to get bunches of photo's of the older family from my dad.

Did any of the coats match what you were looking for?

Hi Goldie,

Here are some of the coats of arms I found in my Grans research files.

Hi Goldie,

I will have to do multiple posts

Hi Goldie,

I have not seen the brass at all as far as I can remember although we probably do have a picture or rubbing of it somewhere ( I would need to ask my father ). I do know that my grandmother was lucky enough to go and see it in person but that was well before I was born.

I think the book may have been written by him. It has been a number of years since I have requested my dad pull it out for me to look at (we are a bit precious with it). I do know that it contains our history back to Normandy. There are a number of crests and family details that are a bit over my head. I do have photo copies of some of the pages my dad found most interesting so I will dig them up and hopefully be able to share them with you.

The deeds are in my possession so I will be able to have a look at the exact location a bit later but I know it was in Staffordshire and they mention Leek.

If my recollection is correct I may be able to shine a bit of light on the various coats of arms, as there was a section of the book I think I have a copy of that has many coat of arms on it.

I will happily ask my dad to take a photo of the front of the book and send it to me:)

I find this all very interesting as well:)
