Hi,
I dont know how much help I can be, but we may be able to help each other, perhaps.
I have John HOLYMAN who married Mary FINNIS in 1775 in Deal KENT.
At marriage, Mary was a minor, and daughter of Wm F.
There was a William FINNIS who may have been her father, who was buried 7 Apr 1829, at Buckland, aged 77.
John and Mary HOLYMAN had a least one child, William, who married Sarah GREENWAY, but died in 1827.
Sarah's second marriage was to John DOLBEY, in Dover, KENT.
John and Sarah DOLBEY emigrated to Tasmania, Australia, in 1836.
I am descended from this couple.
I hope this is of help and interest to you.
Love to know anything more.

First time on Rootschat, posted a message in the wrong way, now trying to do it properly!
There were several Finnis branches in Deal. This is mine.
My great great grandfather was Ingram Bromley Finnis b abt 1827 to John Finnis and Mildred Susanna Middleton.There were other children,John Belsey Finnis b abt 1821,Ann b abt 1824,Susanna b abt 1830 and Sarah b abt 1835. My great grandfather was John Belsey Finnis b1852 to Ingram and Julia Margaret Marsh b abt 1832.
Have you any connections with any of these?

Hi Moors
Don't know what your particular interest is with the FINNIS name in Deal, but there are a number of threads relating to this surname on the KFHS Deal Branch message board:

Hello Bill,found the KFHS message board with Finnis interests. Found somebody from my branch of the family. Don't know if it will be of any interest to Moors.
See that you list Marsh as of interest. My great great grandmother was Julia Margaret Marsh b abt 1832 in Deal. She married Ingram Bromley Finnis in 1851. Her granddaughter, my granny Charlotte Julia Marsh b1881 married William George Marsh b1879 in Great Mongeham. Don't know if the two families have a connection-yet!
Regards Finnis finder.

Hi Finnis finder
Welcome to RootsChat.
I'm glad you made a contact through my board.
There is a very remote possibility that your MARSH family may be connected but, as MARSH was the most common name in East Kent in the 19th century (40 families listed in Dover alone in the 1880s!) I don't hold out much hope! I gave up that line at my gt gt grandfather when I found a possible baptism for him in almost every parish I checked!!
My ancestor was Henry Marsh who married Mary Golder.
Regards, Bill

Hello Bill,it's certainly easier to find Finnis' than Marshes. The other family name I'm interested in is Spratling. Have loads on them, mainly due to other people who have been researching for a long time.
The Marshes from my family are from Deal, Woodnesborough, Eastry, Goodnestone, Gt Mongeham and Sandwich.
My grandad's father was Charles Henry b1857, Woodesborough, married Emma Gambrill in 1878. They lived at Gt Mongeham and were in Sandwich by 1901.Charles' father was William b in Eastry 1823 and married Rachael Cox (possibly!) in1847.
My gt gt grandmother Julia Margaret was the daughter of Henry Marsh of Deal,b 1801 married to (possibly) Mary Ann Woodruff in 1825.I think she died and he remarried Elizabeth Collard in1836. Julia's older brother William took responsibility for the younger children because Elizabeth died 1851 and Henry 1853. William was a Customs Officer and by 1901 was retired and living at 15 Clarendon Rd, Dover.I hope that I have "found" the correct Marshes!
A question when you put a message on the KFHS forum does the person it is intended for get an e-mail notifying them that there has been something posted there?
Thanks for your help, regards Finnisfinder

Hi Finnis finder
I hope you have got the correct MARSHes too - you seem to have done pretty well! 
I can't see any lines that connect with mine. 
If they have ticked the box to be notified, the person concerned will get a message to say that a reply has been posted.
Regards, Bill

Good Morning,
This is my first message on this site and hope we may be of use to each other.
I have a John Finnis born East Langdon 1722 and lived and died in Deal as did his wife Elizabeth nee Wilmot. Their children were all born in Deal, Robert, Elizabeth, Susanna, Anne, Wilmot and Mary. Wilmot married Susanna Brice, 1779 Deal.
I have more but hope this is enough for the moment.
Regards
Andrew

Just in case anyone is interested, I live in a house in East Langdon where a number of Finnis families lived during the 1800's. If anyone would like a photo let me know and I would be more than happy to email one. (the house was previously 2 cottages, one belonged to the blacksmith the other the wheelwright). The house was apparently built in around 1750.
Best wishes,
Blue

We really must get together and sort out these BEER connections, Blue - after all, we're practically neighbours!

Hi Bill,
Good to hear from you, I haven't done a lot of research on my Beer ancestors, I know they come from the Whitstable/Seasalter area. My great great grandmother moved to the Folkestone area when she married Edward Flisher back in 1877.
Are you in Deal?
Regards,
Blue
PS - my neighbours also share the Beer name, and my husbands neighbour when he lived on a farm in Bridge was a Mummery, small world isn't it. 
Apologies to the Finnis's for hijacking their thread.

A long time since the message was posted!
Thanks Lulu for the information about Mary Finnis and John Holyman marriage. Have finally discovered that she is an ancestor of mine.
Her parents were William Finnis and Martha Wells of Deal. William was born 1725 in Deal.
Do you know anything of William son of Mary and John Holyman? Do you have his birth date?
Thanks Finnisfinder.
