Probably a lot of your answers are on FreeBMD. You should make searches there as you come across names.

The 1861 census tells us that Elizabeth Finnear's birth was about 1842 at Stoke Lane. Somerset. She was the daughter of George, 54  and Eliza Finnear, 48 who lived at 142 Yeomans Yard, Frome, Somerset in 1816.

George was a professional shoemaker born Leigh on Mendip. Eliza and the rest of the family were born Stoke.

Elizabeth was a straw boater maker and she had younger siblings  - George, 17 who was a Machinery Turner at Hinchcliffe's factory, Martha 13, Sarah 11 and Selma 9.

I don't know how much you want to research yourself or if you want others to do it all for you. You choose. If you choose to learn to do the research you will find wonderful guides and sources on the Beginners Board.

ok starting since your last post Hackstaple i have been looking and...
 
I have found a church register where a Mary Finnear and George Finnear were married on the 30th of may 1809 in Leigh on Mendip. Where the George Finnear (who you mentioned)who married Eliza was born. 

So im thinking that would put them at the age where they could possibly be his parents. dont know what to do next?

i have gone to Free BMD. dont know if im just filling out the dates and stuff wrong but it couldnt find george finnear.

will keep looking and hopefully something will pop up

thanks for the info by the way

George Finnear will not be on FreeBMD since that transcribes records from 1837 only. Earlier records will be found in parish registers. George appears to haveebeen born about 1807.

You say you found  a marriage between Mary Finnear and George Finnear? - that is unusual. The name is not common and they would have to be close relatives.

You will find some possible leads on George Finnear here. Just enter the surname in the search. http://www.familysearch.org

I am suppose to be related to mary queen of scots too. My grandfather died and so i can't find out anything about it. My mother doesn't know anything besides that we are suppose to be related to mary. My moms side is from Scotland but i can trace anything.

[maryldiaz]

My grandfather was named after all the kings of scotland. It runs in the family. Every male is named after all the kings. I just can't trace anything.

Hello Mary & welcome
This topic is a couple of years old so it's probably best if you start a new one.
Just let us know what it is you already have & what you want to know.

I also had a family story of a connection to Mary Q of Scots. My grandmother thought it was through one of the 4 Marys. I was lucky enough to find the connection. I was  very surprised to find that JamesV is my13xG grandfather through one of his illegitimate sons (half brother to Mary).
The Stewart Kings had many illegitimate children so it's possible you will be able to prove your family story. Best of luck  with your search.

Mary,  if MQS had fallen under a bus, the next in line to the Scottish throne was the Hamilton ancestor of the present Duke of Hamilton, a Douglas Hamilton but really a Douglas.
