Hi
I traced my mother's family (Quinnin) through Northumberland, England.
Other the years the name changed... 1851: Quanan 1861: Quennan 1871:Quinnin 1881: Mc Quinnin 1891: Quinnin 1901: Quinnin 1911: Quinnin and Quinin
I believe the name changed because of the irish accent. I believe the name was originally Queenan or something similiar. I believe the Quinnins are from Sligo from the 1911 census for my great-great grandfather. Martin Quinin b. abt 1838. The place of birth was as follows: Co Sligo (parish unknown)
Martin's parents were Patrick b. abt 1820 and Bridget b. abt 1813. Patrick was sometimes known as Patrick Andrew. Martin and two siblings that I know of... Mary b. abt 1840 and James b. abt 1845.
They must have came over between 1841 and 1851.
I don't know what to do
... I would love to get back further!
