You asked about Chinnerys in Ireland. Yes, my great-great-grandfather John Chinnery was from County Cork. British Chinnerys apparently settled in Ireland - specifically County Cork, but there were some in Limerick - in the 18th century or earlier. They were landed gentry from England and Normandy before that. I have been unable to trace my Chinnerys beyond John, who married my great-great-grandmother in 1849, probably somewhere in Ireland. They went to Wales, where their four children were born, including my great-grandfather Michael Chinnery. John died, and his widow brought her four children to New York City. In my research I have heard of other Chinnerys going to the Caribbean and Australia. There are no longer any Chinnerys in the Ireland telephone directories, so presumably they all emigrated. Do you have any information that would dovetail with mine? I would appreciate it. Thank you. Anne
