My Ennis ancestors were from Kircubbin, Down, so it might be worth having a look in that area. They were Presbyterians. They left for the New World in about 1840.

The combination of the Azores, Portugal, the Western Isles and Scotland make me think there may well be a Portuguese merchant naval connection and the surname Inácio was Anglicised to Innis. The Seaforth Highlanders idea doesn't look so good as they were in Spain and Portugal in the early part of the nineteenth century ... 1808 - 1810 ... whilst
John wasn't born until 1831.

I actually found some Innis's in Portugal, as Innis but I couldn't get anything concrete. Not being able to read Portuguese didn't help. 
That line was and still is a possability. John named his second son Manuel Flizbertio Innis, and one of the witnesses to his marriage was Manuel Christian.
Manuel Flizbertio Innis became Emanuel Albert Ennis. (Funny how people think)
First daughter, born Constance Innis, became Constantia Veulantia Ennis 
My G-Grandfather was John William Ennis, born between the two Innis siblings.
I have copies of their birth certs and that's how they were baptised. Couldn't make up their minds or the parish clerk couldn't spell?
Yours didn't stop off in Portugal did they Erato?
No, I think they were definitely Innis back then, but I'm not closing any doors.
Of course I knew that Christopher, I just forget sometimes  I just needed some fresh minds with fresh ideas. Now I have about four websites open and I'm getting lost as well as forgetful. Thank heavens for broadband and thank heavens for those typing lessons in high school.

Nope, mine went straight from Ireland to Canada and then to the USA. There was a much later connection to Portugal, though. My father [coincidentally another John Ennis] was born in Angola, Portuguese West Africa.

Yes, an unfortunately common name. I've got five of them in my tree.
