I do have a few more but the quality is very poor and i am not sure they are worth posting.

I will have a look at my dad's next time I am there for anything I have missed.

They all relate to the families in Leek and as a result they were all connected to the Fynney's in some way I suppose. These i think all came from the family book which is the history of the families of the parish of Leek.

I am hoping to get bunches of photo's of the older family from my dad.

Did any of the coats match what you were looking for?

Thanks so much Boyscout,

We have a number of family photo's and my father (possibly the male you are referring to) is busy writing articles for a South African magazine about the life of his father Fredrick Eric Warren Fynney and his father Oswald who was a magistrate in Natal. I have attached a few photo's for you.

I would love to see what ever you have!

Hi Goldie,

I have not seen the brass at all as far as I can remember although we probably do have a picture or rubbing of it somewhere ( I would need to ask my father ). I do know that my grandmother was lucky enough to go and see it in person but that was well before I was born.

I think the book may have been written by him. It has been a number of years since I have requested my dad pull it out for me to look at (we are a bit precious with it). I do know that it contains our history back to Normandy. There are a number of crests and family details that are a bit over my head. I do have photo copies of some of the pages my dad found most interesting so I will dig them up and hopefully be able to share them with you.

The deeds are in my possession so I will be able to have a look at the exact location a bit later but I know it was in Staffordshire and they mention Leek.

If my recollection is correct I may be able to shine a bit of light on the various coats of arms, as there was a section of the book I think I have a copy of that has many coat of arms on it.

I will happily ask my dad to take a photo of the front of the book and send it to me:)

I find this all very interesting as well:)

Hi Goldie,

I am a Fynney (Sadly the last I know of in SA that comes from the direct line). My direct family is descended from Dr Fielding Best Fynney who came to SA to farm sugar on the Natal coastline. Fielding had 8 children the oldest being Fredrick Bernard Fynney my Great Great Grandfather, Fredrick Bernard had 6 children the oldest being Oswald Henry Joseph Fynney my Great grandfather. Oswald had 2 children with Edith Blamey a girl Eileen who passed away in a fire and my grandfather Fredrick Eric Warren Fynney. Fredrick married my gran Barbara Kate Collet and had a single son my father who is still living. My father had 5 children all girls of which I am the last to be unmarried and retain the Fynney name.

The book we have is ancient!! it is a record of the Fynney family as far as I remember, it is not something we leaf through regularly because of age and the language being in the old English style making it somewhat hard to understand. This came across with our family and included the sale deed to the lands we left.

I hope you have found this interesting:)
