The roots of the Anglo-Saxon name Vinning come from when the family resided in the settlement of Fyning in Rogate, in the county of Sussex. The surname Vinning belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. Early Origins of the Vinning familyThe surname Vinning was first found in Winchester where Robert Fininge is generally understood to be the oldest listing of the family as recorded there (1210-1211.) A few years later, Thomas Finning was listed in Suffolk in 1228 and later, the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex listed Alan Fynyng in 1332. Ralph de Vynynge was listed to the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex in 1327 and Robert Vinning was listed in Somerset in 1641. 1 Early History of the Vinning familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Vinning research.

On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States.
