Nearly everyone I've spoken to from boards like this are connected to the Kinnes/Kinnis family in some way, I was just wondering if anyone here was.
If anyone has any information on the following I'd be most grateful:
James Kinnes/Kinnis (b. 1811) (m. Isabella Wilson 1839).
Their children:
William Kinnes (b.1843) (m. Christina Ostler 1873, Catherine Marshall 1872, Marjory Hughes 1864).
Janet Kinnes (b. 1853).
James Kinnes (b 1839).
John Kinnes (b. 1857).
Robert Kinnes (b. 1850).
Also if anyone knows anything about the connection between this Kinnes family and the ones in Dundee I'd be eternally grateful.

Perhaps he was the son of Alexander Kinnes, He and Elizabeth were married about that time.

Elizabeth whom? I've not got Alexander's wife's name, but yes that's who I'm looking for.
-
Elizabeth Runsman / Runciman.
Married 22/01/1811 at Inchture, Perth.
Elizabeth was christened 3/09/1786 also at Inchture.
Her parents were John Runciman and Eizabeth Donaldson.

Thanks, that's most helpful. :)
Do you have other Kinneses on your tree? I've got lots, going back to c.1730 when the name was Kinnison.
-
Alexander and Elizabeth are the earliest I have so far, I hadn't realised that they changed their name, I wonder why ? Highland clearances perhaps.
I would love to see that line, did you know that their grandson Robert was pretty successfull in Dundee by the way.

I didn't know which ones settled in Dundee. I'm more interested in the Markinch ones but still.

including this direct ancestor -

and I've summarised one family (with no descendants!) from it in a blog here -

I'm interested in another son, William's family.
William (b. 2/1/1825 in Falkland, Fife, d. 19/5/1899), married (21/02/1861) to Helen “Ellen” DYKES (b. ~1833 in Old Monkland Lanarkshire, d.4/4/1922).
and grandson, James Kinnis who moved to Kirk o' Shotts farm and was there around 1900.
Son of William KINNIS and Helen or Ellen DYKES
Husband of Agnes LAW
& children
William KINNIS;
Isabella Howieson KINNIS 1887-1962 --> this is our line
Helen or Ellen Dykes WADDELL;

Hi,
I have an interest in Agnes Law who married James Kinnis. Agnes was the daughter of Isabella Howieson born a few years prior to her marriage to Robert Law, my wife's gg uncle, son of Robert Law and Janet Spence. As you are probably aware Agnes was born on 2nd August 1857 and on the birth certificate there is no father's name just "illegitimate" in the space for the father's name. Whether Robert was actually the father and later made Isabella an "honest women" is open to speculation, although Robert was named as her father on both her marriage and death certificates.!! I was wondering if you had any thoughts. My wife is descended from Hugh Law, Robert's younger brother and has done the ancestry DNA test if this is if any interest?
All the best
John Hendry
