 Thank you for that. I don't know how this line of Finnises fits into others in East Kent.

 I have read about a Thomas Quested Finnis who was Lord Mayor of London. Haven't got the information to hand as I write this.

Regard Finnisfinder.

Hi BettyofKent - re your post last summer (just seeing it now) and the plaques at St Leonard, Hythe ... I'd be very interested in seeing photographs. This is part of my FINNIS family, although not my direct line.

Regards,
