DustinStonebraker — 2013-03-17 22:11:31Z

I have obtained two tin type, one cabinet and one 1870 photo of Mr C Syner and his wife. married 1869.

Mr Syner's photo is stamped by Smith & Dryer Photographers, Indianapolis IN.

These were obtained from a collection of photos from the Brinks family that lived downtown Indianapolis. Other photos in this lot included U.S. Grant and John Wilkes Booth.

I cannot find any other info ont his family. I would like to be able to post these photos to the correct people both here and on findagrave if possible. Any info please let me know.

Hi Glyn,
I have discovered that the Benthall branch probably go back to Sussex in the 1380/1400 period and in the C16th were using the same Taylor alias there as in Shropshire.

Peter
Is it not equally likely that the place in this case originated from the surname? I have only just discovered that there is a Syners Hill and a Synershill Pit - but knowing from parish records that the family lived in Benthall from the time parish records started - if the Siner family go back through hundreds of years in Benthall / Broseley and had a well established trade as travelling tailors, could the hill not have taken its name from the family who resided on or near it?

I have several theories for the name -
1 It's from the old english 'synar' meaning an archer who missed the mark regularly (also where 'sin' comes from)
2 It's a midlands dialect form of Senior
3 It's a corruption of 'siveriner' = dweller on the Siverin / Severn: the only correlating evidence backing this up is the town of Sinnington which derives from 'siverin - inga - ton'

Frank Synar was my father-in-law. HIs father was Valanty/buried at Harrah, Okla. Cath. Cemetery. I think a lot of your ancestors migrated to the St. Louis area.

Re: Origins of Syner Surname

bristolloggerheads — 2009-12-04 17:41:40Z

I now have an even earlier Syner - 1182 in Felsted, Essex.
His name was Robert Syner but there is a little sign above the r which I think means it is a contraction of Synere.

My grandmother, Grace Synar, born circa 1880 lived in Allegheny County, PA according to the 1910 Census. At this time she was married to Frank Cox.
Does anyone have any leads as to Grace's relations or country of origin??
I have been unsuccessful in locating relatives using the Synar spelling.
Thanks.

Re: Syner / Synar Surname from Broseley, Shropshire

2008-11-12 14:33:52Z

To answer my own question it seems the Synar name in my case came from a geographical location near Broseley. There was a Syners Hill and Synershill Pit. It was not uncommon in the 1500's for the surname to derive from a village or other physical place apparently.

I am researching the Synar surname (Also Syner, Signor, Signer and Cynor) from Broseley, Shropshire, England around 1570-1750. I am particularly interested as to any C16th links with the Hugeunots.

Re: Origins of Syner Surname

bristolloggerheads — 2008-07-19 13:11:53Z

Hi again,
I am now back to the 1530s in Shropshire and have looked into other Syners throughout England and Scotland and it is evident that even in the C16th the Syners were very scattered. As an origin there is also "seiner" as in someone who seine fishes. The earliest reference I have found is a C13th trader Clement de Sinor suggesting that Sinor may be a place name.

Or the servant of a lord?(from French) or is it related to Schynnar (C13th) which could have been a skinner? I have Nicholas Syner recorded in 1319 in Monmouthshire, England (or Wales as it is now!)

Hi. I'm researching the Syner branch of my mother's family history. Her grandmother was Florence Syner (b.1916 in England), and her Great-Grandfather was John Edwin Syner (b. 1871). Florence Syner (now deceased) always said that her great-grandfather came aross from America and i'm trying to investigate this possiblity. He would have been born between 1800 and 1820 i believe.

Does anyone have any information about a possible link between Syner's in England and Syner's in America?

I have a lot more info. available if anyone would like to know more.
