ARNOPPS of Kinsale

[silence]

Hi
i am just beginning to trying to trace my husband's family but have barely any info to help. Liam or William Arnopp left Kinsale during WW2, his father may or may not have been George Arnopp and his mother Dora?  Liam's siblings were  Ben, George, Peirce, May Dora and Minnie. i would be so grateful for any info on Arnopps of Kinsale. or a ny advice on where to look or who to contact.
thankyou

thanks aghadowey

i'd seen some of those things before and attended that funeral at suffolk but the other bits were a great help.  the difficult thing is pinning down the older generation to recall names and ages 
thanks again

Dear Silence

I just came across your original request. I'm sure you have this resolved by now as Arnopp is a well known Kinsale name (of Hugenot extraction) . In any case my father (current mayor of Kinsale) knew both Pierce and Ben your husbands father's siblings... and would be happy to make contact with you

My wife's mother is an Arnopp from Kinsale. Her father was Dick Arnopp, died 18th Margh 1991. I haven't really figured out the ins and outs of the family yet except my mother in law says there are Catholic and Protestant Arnopps. Two Kinsale Arnopps died in WW1, B Arnopp died 9.9.1919 and Robert Arnopp killed on HMS Goliath 13th May 1915.

Dear Mr Dolan

yes the Arnopps are of mixed religious background like most traditional families from kinsale reflecting our origins from seafaring, Hugenot,military and indiginous populations that have settled over the generations.

I'm fairly sure I knew your mother's father Dick and know her current living descendents but I will reply with a fuller answer once I have consulted the oracle - my dad !!- to ensure I have the correct family .

what was your mother's name ?

best wishes

apologies

on the case  now

Mr Dolan

pretty sure I have the right family -  many descendents alive and well in the town but the family are very well known locals  and your mother in law / wife must surely be in touch with them  ?? unless you are referring to another family with a 'Dickie Arnopp' as there was one from the protestant persuasion as well I think going back along -

what did you want to know ?

is your wife still alive - what's her name
