Hi Kiwichick,
Thanks for your message and all the info, it's exciting, I don't think I've had info for the correct time frame before and the Tailor/Dressmaker aspects are encouraging.
The fact that your Dinan/Dinnen's emigrated to NZ is interesting, I know that some of my earlier 'elusive' ones went to the US, and possibly Canada, so maybe if we do some good research and get lucky there maybe a link to find!
The male names known at that time in my line were John, Nicholas, Charles, Jacobus/James. Some 'potential people' (marrying in nearby churches, in similar years, with the same surnames at a time and place where those names were not common) were Michael, Thomas, Mary and Bridget.
Some of the Dinan/Dynan 'tailors', that I think maybe part of this line, who went to the US and Canada were called Michael and Thomas.
I'm trying to think of anything that could help...
Although I've mainly concentrated on Co Cork and in particular Cork to try and find these Dynan/Dinan's, I have always known that they could come from Co Clare. It's just a family tale about 'Harbourmasters of Cork' that makes me focus there..and that could be misleading!
More recently, I was told by a records office in Ireland that there were Dynan's who were Timber Merchants and that some were on the Board of Commissioners for the Harbour, unfortunately I can't remember the dates for this, but I have written notes somewhere!
The creative angle in your family is also interesting as my line was very musical and creative also, but that might be something.. or just a coincidence!
Thanks for all your info, I think as people respond maybe we can build up enough to start to find the lines between them..here's hoping!
Thanks and Best Wishes.
