surname FINNIS

[AJ100]

John Finnis' marriage to Mercy is not recorded in Deal or Walmer PR's implying that either he was married before he came here or he married in Mercy's parish. Likewise no marriage recorded for William circa 1811 - also out of parish. Further research has not found Mercy's burial, either.
Sorry cannot be of more help

I have John Finnis, bachelor, butcher of Deal married Mercy Belsey of Northbourne, daughter of John Belsey yeoman, at Northbourne 25th February 1785 at Northbourne.

As you say AJ William's marriage out of Deal parish is most likely.

Thanks for your help.

  Still haven't solved marriage of William and Jane Dawe but have now found Henry Belsey Finnis born about 1810 died 1855,
  possibly son of William and Jane.

  Unfortunately didn't make a note of the source!

  Any ideas AJ?

  Thanks

Henry Belsey Finnis not recorded as baptised in Deal but William and Jane, Baker of Oak Street, had 3 children baptised at St George's.
  1/1/1812  Ann Belsey Finnis
12/1/1814  Jane Mercy Finnis
30/7/1817  Elizabeth Dawe Finnis

Am still researching and will keep a look-out for earlier Finnis marriages.

Seems Henry Belsey Finnis has been found. There is a thread Henry Finnis of Hythe Kent posted by JOHNYP, last reply 16th March.
Parents are William and Jane, so that ties in.

Must check out their marriage, possibly Hythe.

Very kind, finnisfinder. Apreciate the thought. She was only 27 when she died and obviously never married.

Kind regards

 Hoping you might have something in your records re William Henry Finnis born 1810, son of John Belsey Finnis and Mildred Susannah Middleton.

You gave me his marriage to Mary Selth (or was it Seath, seen it recorded as that) Norris in 1839, his occupation cordwainer. Mary Finnis died in 1847 Freebmd Q3 1847 5 81


William on 1851 Census is at 39 Middle St Deal, Beer Shop Keeper, also there Mary's parents, Edward and Mary Norris. Edward recorded as father in law
1861 Census William still in Middle St, same occupation.
 
1871/1881 Census in Duke St, cordwainer wife Elizabeth born 1818 Walmer. Cannot find a marriage record.

 Haven't found anything on 1891 census so his death between 1881-1891? Nothing on Freebmd.

 Wondered if you could help again please?

 If you need any Marsh family information have that connection with the Finnis family as mentioned previously!
