John Fynney (d.1828) - links to Hulme/Johnson/Bowers/Koziah

[Valerie Fennell]

These Finneys are strictly Hayesgate Finneys and I have traced them back  to Richard Ball Finney who was born about 1580. My connection to this family is through Elizabeth (b. 27 oct. 1820) who married Joseph Bowers. They had a daughter Kezia who married George Gould in Ipstones. I have been helped by some wills to establish some of this family as the Alstonefield register has some unfortunate gaps. During the civil was there were no marriages at all. There were two succesive
Williams, one who married Elizabeth Dale (born Hollinsclough Bap. Hartington), and Elizabeth Ball who was born in Fernyford and named in her father's will as the wife of William Finney. The early Ferniford people are in the Alstonefield Register as many villages belonging to the Harpur-Crewe Manor are, before they had churches of their own. Anyway, What in particular do you need? This is my very first connection by the way, my skills aren't all that great, so be patient please. I just hope I can find my way back.....

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.

Hi,

I have been looking at various records today. I think that burial may possibly be your Samuel Daintry. He didn’t leave a Will but there are Administration documents for him, signed by Elizabeth and I’m presuming John Fynney dated 1781.

There are numerous Daintry Wills - one a Charles Daintry dated 1818 ( he died 1810) - not gone through it all but his abode was Leek but he too was buried in Stone.

Elizabeth didn’t leave a Will that I can see - but I will check.

EDIT: After reading the Will of Charles Daintry he was sister to Catherine Tomlinson nee Daintry who was mentioned in the Will.

Claire,

Thanks for your help on this, it is very intresting that Charles Daintry was buried at Stone also.

I've had a look at the Staffordshire Burials for him and he shown as "Abode Darlaston" there must be some family connection with Stone or the Church there.

He was aged 45 and described as a Gent.

FindMyPast also have the Will of John Fynney dated 1829 - mentions surnames Bowers, Tomlinson Johnson and Hulme ( his sister Sarah married a Hulme)

Not conclusive, but given the tree you have seen, there is a baptism in Leek 19 Sept. 1735 of a Samuel Daintry son of John Daintry curate of Endon and Mary his wife. The baptism was also recorded in the registers at Endon.

When John Daintry Curate died in 1758 the Leek St Edward parish register contains not only his burial record but a lengthy paragraph of what a wonderful man he was as a husband, father and as a minister.
