All Rights Reserved www.houseofnames.com 888-468-7686 Origins The name Finch was formed many centuries ago by the early Norman settlers that followed the 1066 Conquest of the island. It was a name typically given to a person who was referred to as a finch deriving from the small songbird's name. The surname may have also an occupational origin, denoting someone who caught and sold finches. [1] Ancient History After studying the ancient manuscripts, historians discovered the Finch surname to be of Anglo-Saxon origin. Documents such as the Domesday Book, compiled in 1086 for William I of England (William the Conqueror), have revealed the first recorded instances of the Finch surname. Evidence suggests that the name Finch was first found in Hertfordshire where they held a family seat at Redheath. Conjecturally the name became established as Finch by Vincent Herbert of Winchelsea, who by a strange combination of Vincent and Winch of Winchelsea, bore the alias of Finch, and became the Earl of Winchelsea, having the Christian name of Finch. "Vincent Herbert of Winchelsea, 20 Edward I. [(during the twentieth year of Edward I's reign)] bore the alias of Finch. The early pedigree of the Earl of Winchelsea's family is very obscure. Their former surname was Herbert, and one of the earliest if not the first who was known as Finch was this very Vincent. In Sussex the baptismal name Vincent is often corrupted to Winch or Vinch." [2] Spelling Variations Throughout the records the Finch surname was found with various spellings, such as Finch, Vinch, Vynch, Fynch, Vince and Vyncheand these changes in spelling even occurred in references to the same person. Even such literate people as Shakespeare would sign their name with different spellings. Some variations resulted from the influence of court languages such as Latin and French on the spelling of a name. In general, however, people paid more attention to how a name was pronounced, not to how people thought it should be spelled.

All Rights Reserved www.houseofnames.com 888-468-7686 Early History The Finch family descended from a culture which shaped England more than any other. Coming to England in the 5th century, the Angles and Saxons dominated the countryside by force and pushed the native Britons into Wales. Angles and Saxons were independent tribes, but their common Germanic heritage meant that their language and customs were similar. Early Germanic society was made up of groups of families uniting around a chieftain or king. This social unit tended to remain small unless bands grouped together to accomplish a certain task, such as a war with another group. These groups would then break up after the task was complete. Anglo-Saxon Britain was divided into a bewildering number of kingdoms, some only short lived, until unification under Egbert in the 9th century. Even with the merging of Angle and Saxon kingdoms, true cohesion was not achieved until after the Norman conquest. After the successful Norman invasion of 1066 Anglo-Saxon rule came to an end. Despite this, the culture of the common man was largely an Anglo-Saxon culture. However, politics and high society was to be dominated by the Norman French. William the Conqueror (c. 1028- 1087) abolished the great earldoms which had existed under the Anglo-Saxon rulers, thus removing a major source of domestic turmoil. English society ceased to resemble the old tribal structure consisting of bands of families grouped around different leaders. England was slowly developing into a nation. The Finch family was also facing a period of development, and was found in Hertfordshire. By 1300 this noble name had become accepted within the Earl's family. They later became the Earls of Aylesford and the Lords Finch of Fordwich. They intermarried with the distinguished family of Hatton and the Welsh family of Wynne of Denbigh. The Earls of Aylesford held a family seat at Eastwell in Kent, and later branched to Tenterden in that same county. An important branch settled at Burley-On-the-Hill in Rutland. The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 had only entry for the family: Thomas Finch, Cambridgeshire while over 100 years later, the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 listed: Agnes Finche; Thomas Fynche; and Johannes Fynche as all holding lands there at that time. [3] For further reading we recommend "the History of Burley-on-the-Hill, Rutland" by Pearl Finch, published in London in 1901, and "the History of the Finch Family" by Bryan I'Anson in 1933. Their present family seats are at Ayston, formerly of Burley-on-the-Hill, and Chedworth and Redheath.

Life in Ireland The Finch family survived the Middle Ages, despite famine, plagues, and the trials of daily life. However, in the 17th century political and religious upheaval forced many families to leave England. During this period the middle class was gaining in power and importance, and for the first time was ready to assert itself in Parliament. The power-struggle which resulted divided the country into two very powerful factions. This century also saw renewed tensions between the Protestants and the Catholics. Together these conflicts were enough to drive families from their homeland. In Ireland Protestant settlers and the followers of Cromwell were granted lands taken from the native Irish. Other families came to Ireland simply to escape their war-torn home. In Ireland, Sir Theophilus Finch was knighted by the Lord Lieutenant in 1599, and they settled at Tullamore Park in County Tipperary. In the early seventeenth century the name was established in Munster, but is now mostly found in Ulster. The Great Migration Turmoil at home made the New World appear attractive to many families in England. They immigrated to Canada, the United States, Australia, and some moved to continental Europe. Members of the Finch family risked the hazardous voyage to start a new life in new lands. This decision to emigrate was never made casually, for while there were hardships at home, the journey across the sea was so perilous that up to forty percent of a ships' passengers would not reach their destination.

Current Notables Canada was one of the destinations selected by immigrants. Canada was at first a French colony, but, it was inevitable that the French empire be challenged. At the end of the Seven Years War, in 1763, Canada was ceded to the British. Soon after this the first large group of English speaking migrants arrived in Canada. United Empire Loyalists arrived in the decades during and following the American Revolution. Most of the Loyalists settled in Nova Scotia and the St. Lawrence-Great Lakes region. It was not until nearly a century after this that Canada began to develop into the great nation it is today. By the mid 19th century, land opportunities and the building of the railroads allowed immigrants to settle the west. • Peter Finch (1916-1977) born Frederick George Peter Ingle Finch, an English actor perhaps best known for his role in "Network" as crazed television anchor man Howard Beale; he was posthumously nominated for and won a Best Actor Oscar for his role • Lance Sydney George Finch QC OBC (1938-2020) Canadian jurist, Chief Justice of British Columbia Court of Appeal (2001-2013) • Lisa Finch Maffia (b.1979) English singer-songwriter, musician, fashion designer, model and presenter • Dame Janet Valerie Finch DBE, DL, AcSS (b.1946) British sociologist and academic administrator • Sir Harold Josiah Finch (1898-1979) Welsh Labour Party politician • George Finch (1888-1970) American chemist • Charles Finch PC (1672-1712) 4th Earl of Winchilsea, British peer and Member of Parliament • Charles Baker Finch (1920-1996) American businessman and lawyer, CEO of Allegheny Power System (1971 to 1985)

Introduction The practice of representing people with symbols is ancient, and in England this habit evolved with feudal society into a system of distinctive devices on shields. The heralds developed an extensive armory that had the important function of distinguishing members of the upper class from each other, whether at court or on the battlefield. Since then, heraldry has grown into a complex field with many rules and a terminology that requires some knowledge to interpret.

An Achievement of Arms such as the Finch arms depicted on the left typically consists of these parts: the Escrolls, displaying the family motto and name, the family crest (if any) seen above the helmet, the actual Coat of arms (also known as 'arms,' or 'the shield'), the Helmet depicted below the crest, the Torse on top of the helmet, and the Mantle draped from the helmet. Each of these elements will be described below. Supporters were a later addition to the

Achievement of Arms of Achievement; they are somewhat rare, and are usually Finch personal to the grantee.

The mantle was spread over and draped from the helmet and served as a protection, 'to repel the extremities of wet, cold, and heat, and to preserve the armour from rust.' The numerous cuts and slits suggest that it had been torn and hacked on the field of battle. The style or design of the mantling is up to the individual heraldic artist, and it is usually depicted in the main color and metal from the Mantle of Finch shield. The helmet (or Helm) varied in shape in different ages and countries, often depicting rank. The Esquire's Helm, as depicted here, is generally shown silver, with a closed visor and facing to the dexter (its right). On top of the helmet is a Torse or wreath which was formed by two pieces of silk twisted together. Its purpose was to hold the crest and mantle on the Helm.

Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. The motto for the Finch coat of arms displayed here is: Nil conscire sibi This translates as: To have a conscience free from guilt. Shield Shields (or Escutcheons) at first were painted simply with one or more bands of color or 'ordinaries'. Later, the ordinaries were used in conjunction with other figures or symbols. The Coat of Arms for the surname Finch can be described as follows:

FINCH ARMS Silver with a black fesse between three black griffins passant.

The Finch Shield

SILVER Argent (from the French for silver), or Silver is one of the two metals used in heraldry. It is usually represented on a shield by the colors gray or white. This metal represents nobility, peace and serenity. It is associated with the qualities of purity and chastity, because silver the metal withstands the test of fire.

All Rights Reserved www.houseofnames.com 888-468-7686 BLACK Sable (Archaic or literary English for black) or black, the coldest of the colors, corresponds to lead. Black, or "sable," is symbolic of sadness. It also corresponds with winter and is a humble color, suitable for the deeply religious. It denotes the qualities of knowledge, piety, serenity and work. Engravers represent it with numerous horizontal and black vertical lines crossing each other.

FESSE The fess(e) is a broad, horizontal band across the center of the shield that represents the military belt and girdle of honor of the ancients. (Wade) It signifies that the bearer must always be in readiness to act for the well being of the people. It is supposed to occupy a full third of the height of the shield, though it is seldom

fesse drawn this way, and it is subject to the lines of partition. Its position is directly across the center of the shield unless the fesse is described as enhanced or abased. There can only be one fesse on a shield. If more than one is present then they are termed bars.

All Rights Reserved www.houseofnames.com 888-468-7686 THREE "Three" devices, beasts or ordinaries of the same have a special significance in heraldry. First of all, there is the obvious reference to the Trinity in the design that would signify observance of the Christian doctrine. Secondly, with many Arms it brings balance that is steeped in tradition. To better understand this latter scenario, we must look at the evolution of shield in personal armory. Kite shields that were the most popular from the the 10th- 14th century evolved into Heater shields that had flat tops c. 1250. This was the time of heraldry's beginnings and when "three" objects were used for balance in each corner of the shield. Later, with the advent of the "chief," "chevron" and "bend" three devices brought balance to these ordinaries too.

All Rights Reserved www.houseofnames.com 888-468-7686 GRIFFINS PASSANT The griffin is a mythical creature, with the head, wings and talons of an eagle and the body and hind legs of a lion. It is thus composed of the most royal of the birds and the beasts. The griffin was thought to find and guard mines of gold griffins passant and hidden treasures. It is a principal device in heraldry, signifying valor, strength, vigilance, and perseverance. The symbolism of the griffin was described by Alexander Nisbet in his System of Heraldry (1722) translated from Latin as: "The griffin represents wisdom joined to fortitude, but wisdom should lead, and fortitude follow." A distinctive feature of the griffin is that it has ears, which are large and stand up from its head. This is the only feature that differentiates a griffin's head from an eagle's. The griffin can be found in all the heraldic positions (segreant, passant, sejant etc.) A male griffin, for some reason, does not have wings; instead it is adorned with spikes at various points. The male griffin is a much rarer heraldic charge than the winged female. In the middle ages hybrids such as this one were assumed to be possible and to actually exist, just as a mule, which is a cross between a horse and a donkey, existed. It then followed logically that as mules were unable to reproduce, neither would the griffin. This explained why griffins were so rare and hardly ever seen. A griffin passant is one that is walking to the dexter, with the dexter (right) fore-paw raised.

The Crest The Crest was worn on top of the helmet, and was usually made of wood, metal, or boiled leather. It provided the double advantage of easy identification and the addition of height to the wearer. The Crest for the surname Finch is described as follows:

It is thus composed of the most royal of the birds and the beasts. The Griffin or Gryphon was thought to find and guard griffin mines of gold and hidden treasures. It is a principal device in heraldry, signifying valor, strength, vigilance, and perseverance. The symbolism of the griffin was described by Alexander Nisbet in his System of Heraldry (1722) translated from Latin as: "The griffin represents wisdom joined to fortitude, but wisdom should lead, and fortitude follow." "The griffin, gryfin, or gryphon, as it is variously termed by old writers, is best known as one of the chimerical monsters of heraldry—the mediæval representative of the ancient symbolic creature of Assyria and the East. " (Vinycomb) A distinctive feature of the griffin is that it has ears, which are large and stand up from its head. This is the only feature that differentiates a griffin's head from an eagle's. The griffin can be found in all the heraldic positions (segreant, passant, sejant etc.). A male griffin, for some reason, does not have wings; instead it is adorned with spikes at various points.
