Extremely interested to see that there has just been a DNA link between Pembrokeshire and Flemish invaders.  The surname in the article is ROCHE, however there are a number of other family names that followed this same route to Pembrokeshire, and then on to Ireland, including SINNOTT (more often as SINNETT in Wales, originally probably SYNATH but with quite a lot of variant spellings now).

I'd be keen to know what haplogroup the Roche test showed.   Also very keen to get SINNETT male descendants into the Sinnott/Sennett Y-DNA project at familytreedna.com (PM me for more details or just look up the surname project at either familytreedna.com or one-name.org).

It would be extremely interesting if our Irish SINNOTTs have the same haplogroup (the rather rare EV13) as Pembrokeshire SINNETT and also these Pembrokeshire ROCHE with Flemish origins.

Wexford / Re: Sinnott family in Wexford
« on: Wednesday 29 August 18 12:58 BST (UK)  »

 The only Sinnott in Wexford Town in the 1800s who was in the fabric business
 (that I can find ) was Charlotte Sinnott ,Draper of Main St. Wexford.

Charlotte Sinnott is a wee bit of a mystery.   There is a death and probate record Charlotte, spinster dying  21 may 1915 (death cert place Rockfield, Wexford, probate gives address as of South Main St, which matches with census records, and late of Rockfield House).  Her birthdate from these records could be anything from around 1850 to 1853, however the only birth I can find at all is one in 1847 (if she died a spinster with no family around, then perhaps age at death was only estimated).  Probate was granted to administrators Hugh M'Carthy Hotel Proprietor and Elizabeth hore Widow.

If she is the one born in 1847, then it is this microfilm https://registers.nli.ie/registers/vtls000634138#page/1/mode/1up    born 28 jan, bap 29 jan 1847 in Wexford, diocese of Ferns to parents James SINNOTT and Anne CULLIMORE.  There are two earlier children to the same parents:  Robert (15/16 feb 1841) and Daniel (13 jul 1843).  I can't actually find anything more about this family at the moment though.

Sussex / Re: Skippers Hill Manor School in the 1960s

Former masters or teachers
If you have photographs of former teachers who were at the school between 1958 and 1965, please let me know, and especially so if you can identify the master concerned. Does anyone out there have a photo of J.R. Ward, or of the school building ca. 1958-1965? I'm particularly trying to find more details about Colonel Faro and his origins, who taught Latin, as well as the origins and background of Mr Mander ('Skip') who, as I recall, taught mathematics and ran these Sea Scouts there (1960-1963)

My father would have been a teacher there around 1955 to 1956.  He was a New Zealander who had come to the UK for a working holiday.  I think my mum was also a matron there in 1955 before she married (in April 1955)  This is before the time period you are wanting (1958 to 1965) so PM me if you want photos.

Yorkshire (West Riding) / Re: Irish immigrants to Whitwood 1840's

kayBSpace - I'd love to hear from you and share information.  If you use the contact link at the bottom of the Sennett study page (at the Guild of One Name Studies) that will reach me direct http://one-name.org/name_profile/sennett/  Let me know where you fit in.  My line goes from Joseph and Julia Ann Sennett, via Frank, Edward, Phyllis (my grandmother born Normanton 1907), but I have a lot more information than just my line.

Pembrokeshire / Re: SINNETT in Wales - discounted DNA test offered
« on: Sunday 08 April 18 09:06 BST (UK)  »
This offer of a discounted Y-DNA test for a someone with Welsh Sinnett origins still stands.  Please read the original post for more details.

Also if any S-NN-T (any spelling variations) men have taken a Y-DNA test through familytreedna.com, I'd be really pleased to have them join the Sennett/Sinnott (and variant spellings) project - there is no extra cost to join projects.  Please PM me if you need any further information.

For the women family historians - I know I have asked for men testers only, but you can play your part by either encouraging your menfolk to test, or by financially contributing to the cost of the test.

The Common Room / Bible - Ernest Jenkins of Annfield Plain Co Durham and BELL family
« on: Thursday 22 March 18 14:21 GMT (UK)  »
Have family bible belonging to Ernest Jenkins of East Castle, Annfield Plain, Co Durham (date by his name is 1950), with possibly the original owner William Bell and older inscriptions for:  William and Sarah Bell married 1846 and births Elizabeth Jain Bell 1848, Mary Ann Bell 1857, Sarah 1867.  Also Sarah Bell died January 24.  Also Thomas Lynn died Oct 27th 1894 aged 85 year.

Bible is big and extremely heavy and front and back pages have been heavily scribbled over in pencil by a child.  Happy to photograph inscriptions if this is anyone's family.

Ireland / Re: Grandparents as Godparents in Early 1800s?
« on: Monday 29 January 18 20:22 GMT (UK)  »
The position now is that we have the names of the two parents, 6 children and 12 godparents, from births spanning 1803-1821, with which to try and reverse engineer if we can get a match to possible births to the parents and siblings, and their parents, back in the 1770-80s. The results of this matching/identification exercise might change if the godparents were grandparents as opposed to uncles/aunts. There is no "perfect" match, it will be a question of deciding if there are any, or one or more reasonable matches  :(

Rather than trying to "reverse engineer" by using godparents, if you now know the names of 6 children in order, can you make an educated guess of the next generation back by using the typical Irish children naming patterns?  Doesn't always work, but worth a try - first son after fathers father, 2nd son after mothers father, 3rd son after father.. first daughter after mothers mother, second daughter after fathers mother, third daughter after mother...

Durham / SENNETT of Co Durham (James William SENNETT)
« on: Sunday 12 November 17 15:52 GMT (UK)  »
Are there any male SENNETT descendants out there of James William Sennett, born Co Wicklow who might be interested in DNA?

The Sennett/Sinnott (and variant spellings) DNA project would be really keen to have this family represented as it is one of the 15 largest S-NN-T family trees in the surname study database (surname study registered with the Guild of One Name Studies member number #5579).   It is a Y-DNA project, so a male with direct line father-son link back to James William Sennett is required.  The YDNA37 test is the most useful one (£95 if bought through the Surname Study, of $USD149 if bought through the surname project at familytreedna.com) however there are other options that would reduce the price.  If you are (or know of someone who might be) interested, please either message me here, or contact me from the one-name.org website (search for Sennett and use the contact link).
