Derbyshire / Finney, Fernell and Keeler Hall, Chesterfield
« on: Thursday 06 September 18 14:48 BST (UK) »Several years ago I was given some notes on the Fynney/Finney families of Derbyshire dating roughly from 1596 to the 20th century. These notes contain no sources but show dates of births, marriages and deaths of many Derbyshire Finneys and their spouses. In some instances mention is made of details contained in wills.
I have researched some of these persons and expanded certain lines and have found that generally the details recorded are correct.
Reference is made to a Thomas Fynney born 1776-1847 and a marriage to a Harriet (Harriot) Fernell 1786-1850, I have found three children for these; William, Charles and John Fernel Fynney.
With regards to Harriet the notes say that she was the daughter of Captain Fernell of “Keeler Hall”, Chesterfield. I have been unable to discover any reference to this hall does this mean anything to anyone?
Family Search show her father as John Burgoyne Fernell 1733-1789. Her mother was Betty Adlington 1750-1797.
Any help would be appreciated.
