Identification of a couple of coats of arms

[goldie61]

Gosh, it seems as if your Gran was really interested in Coats of arms.
Do you think they are all related to your Fynney family somehow?
They don't appear in the families of the Fynneys I've looked at.
How interesting 

Love the photo of your granddad with the lion!

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?

[goldie61]

I can't see any from my main Fynney/Finney family (apart from the obvious Fynney one), but I think the Fowler one also comes in on another branch of Finneys - as you say, from Leek.
Apart from that I can't see any that fit in.
If they are all from the Leek book, they could just be Leek families, and not necessarily all connected to the Fynneys.
Are there any more? You seem to have loaded the ones from 'C' though to 'H'.

I have come across the book by John Sleigh before, although I don't own a copy, I have seen the chapter on the Fynneys. I didn't get to look at it long enough to see all these crests were in it! and it was some years ago now, when I hadn't really got round to looking into all the coats of arms. Should've taken more photos!

Thanks for taking the time and trouble to post them all.
Cheers

Hi maec
Thanks for your thoughts.
I've seen that the Courtney family also use the 3 red torteau.

If you go back to my first post on this thread, you can see the original quarterings.
1 - 4 are for the Fynney families (although I can't ascribe nos 2 & 3 to anybody in particular),
then number 5 (which is the first one chronologically), is the 3 red torteau and unknown red pennants.
As I said, Ingelram de Fiennes married Sibyl de Tingerie about 1170. Her father was Pharamus de Tingerie/Tingree, Count of Boulogne, so I think  we can say that that '3 red torteau' is the Counts of Boulogne, and not the Earls of Devon. The Courtneys may well have descended from the same people, and carried on with the crest. I think I saw somewhere that it's in Prince Phillip's coat of arms too!
It may well be that the red pennants come from the Tingree side, but I've not been able to track them down. As KGarrard said, tricky when they are French, and way before these things were regulated.

I do have a few more but the quality is very poor and i am not sure they are worth posting.

I will have a look at my dad's next time I am there for anything I have missed.

Hi Sharon

I am a descendant of the Fynney family of Cheddleton.  I am not a descendant of Fielding Best Fynney but he and I share a common ancestor further back in Fynney Lane.

Are you please able to tell me how far back your deeds and documents go to Fynney Lane?

Are you also able to let me have copies and details of other Fynney coats of arms please?

I have only recently discovered my Fynney ancestors and my Cheddleton heritage and am finding it amazing.

Best wishes

Hello Dodi,

Welcome to Roots Chat.

We have much of what you are asking for. My wife is a descendant of Doctor Fielding Best Fynney and we together with others on this forum have been looking at the Fynney and Finney people for several years and will be keen to see where your line fits in.

As for looking back we have details which allegedly take Fynney back to 1066, details complied in the main by Doctor Fynney.

We are happy to share what we have.

The best way of achiving this is by personal messaging (P.M.) on here. As a new member the rules say that you have to make three posts before this contact can be made. You will therefore have to make a couple of extra post before we can P.M. you. These do not have to be detailed posts just a simple message will surfice.

Good Luck with your research.

Hello Boy Scout
Thank you for your reply.  Will inform you privately of where I fit in.
I have a copy of Sleigh and the genealogy of the Fynney family.
Best wishes
Dodi

Another message in a second to meet the 3 required.

Hello again Boy Scout
I recently visited Cheddleton Church and have seen FBF's memorial.  It is very impressive.
