We have made some progress with this Fynney/Tomlinson association thanks in the main to Claire on here; as I see this is where we stand.
Elizabeth Oakes marries Samuel Daintry in 1770, their daughter, Catherine Daintry, is born 1776.
There is a possible death for a Samuel Daintry and burial at Stone 1779, his abode is shown as Leek but I’m not 100% sure that’s him.
On 17th March 1781 at St. Edwards, Leek, John Fynney aged 27, Button Merchant, marries Elizabeth Daintry a widow age 30.
Catherine Daintry marries Richard Tomlinson in 1809; they name two of their children after Catherin’s stepfather, Fynney and one after Catherine’s maiden name; Daintry.
All this above is on Family Search.
We know that John Fynney died in 1828 and is buried at St. Edwards, Leek but we do not have the grave reference. Staffordshire Burial Records have his “abode”; Compton.
Also on Staffordshire Burials, in 1818 is a death of Elizabeth Fynney, aged 75 her abode is also shown as Compton, she is buried at St. Edwards Leek, no grave reference.
If we had a grave reference numbers, this might put these two together has anyone any ideas how this could be done?
Also Claire refers to seeing wills online and I wonder where that is available? In order to see Samuel Daintry’s will of 1779 and maybe Elizabeth Fynney’s of 1818.
One more thing; I have seen a Tree on Geni that has Samuel Daintry shown as the son of the Reverend John Daintry of Leek, but it’s lacking evidence. I think I’ve read somewhere that there is a memorial or statue of John Daintry inside St. Edwards.
