surname FINNIS

 You've got quite a search on.

 You can try on Freebmd to find the earlier marriages for Thomas and Ada. George's mother's maiden name was Dewhurst,  you can approx work out when she might have been born.

I don't think I can put on here any sites that need a subscription, the moderator casn help there but I could possibly send a personal message.

The is somewhere on here about the rules for posting so need to look at that.

Hi, I have just picked up the Finnis thread and my great great grandparents are George H Finnis 1831 and Catherine/Kate Finnis 1830. They are From Maidstone and Detling and had alot of children! If anyone has any earlier links I would be very grateful!
Thank u

Can't find Henry Finnis b 1812 but know there were Finnises in Hythe, sorry can't help.

How about Thomas Finnis b abt 1805 Allington Maidstone and Catherine Usher for George's parents? Catherine b abt 1803 Loose nr Maidstone.

I think now that I was wrong about George Albert Finnis' parents being a Thomas and Ada (despite this Thomas and Ada being in the same graveyard!)  I now have been directed to a Philip and Constance Finnis.  It just so happens that her maiden name was Dewhurst too!  However I cannot find where these two are buried!

Anyone got these 2 particular names in their tree by any chance? 
Thanks again!

Hi, Thank you, Thomas and Catherine are very likely to be George Henry's parents!

I have a Henry Finnis but he was born 1866.

I dont have a Constance or Phillip in my tree at the moment as I dont have any links with the Deal Finnis's ...at the moment!

Any Maidstone Finnis's out there?!

There are a few FINNIS entries in Kelly's Directory 1934 for Maidstone
