Thansk for your information...I was aware of Chinns at Sandon, but could not find a link to my lot.
My connection with Newton Solney is through my maternal grandmother, and the Eyre family apparently came to Newton solney in the late 1700s, from the Hope Valley,( One was Parish Clerk at the time of Maria Chinn and several were blacksmiths  wheelwrights shopkeepers at Newton.)
It seems that it may be a remarkable co incidence that a Chinn was there at the same time, my mother married my father in 1936, and this seems to be the first introduction of the Chinn genes!
BUT the Sandon Chinns are of interest, the original document at Derby Records shows Thomas Chinn as born London, but the writing is unclear, and although the IGI transcribed as London, it could equally have been Sandon.
As always there are more questions than answers!
Regards
Bryan

I have traced the Chinn line back to 1812 in Derby....the earliest is Thomas said to have been born in London. My gt. grandmother was Maria Chinn, but she was born Maria Stevens (related to the Shardlow wharf family).
I suspect that there are a lot of other relatives out there but couldn't find a connection to other Chinns who were in the same area,
Any information you have would be appreciated.
regards

Hello Sandra,

     Parents - David & Hannah Sims

there are another 5 children listed with same parents -

Job Simms - christened - 13 Jan 1811
Charles Simms - christened - 29 Nov 1812
Betty Simms - christened - 5 Jan 1917
                 at Kirk Ireton

Mary Simms - christened - 30 May 1819
Sarah Simms - christened - 26 Aug 1821
                 at St. Peters, Derby

and a marriage which would fit with the above dates -

David Simms to Hannah Haworth

     Duffield, Derby

Hope this turns out to be of use

Wonder if you could help to locate the Howarth family..I have Caroline Haworth m. Thomas Chinn 1835 at Duffield, but no info on her parents or family. except her father Michael who is recorded at Ashbourne Workhouse Yard.
Help appreciated .

There are currently two pubs in Newton Solney - the Unicorn and the Blacksmiths Arms.  Someone has written a history of the village - it was on sale at Ottakars in Burton on Trent only a few months ago but I have no idea whether it would contain the information you are looking for.

One of my maternal great grandparents was born there - name EYRE - which was long associated with NS I believe.

Best of luck

Goff

I too am descended from the Newton Solney Eyres, and have a lot of information...my Grandmother was Sarah Ann Eyre, married Fred Jordan...also my great Aunt Agnes, who married Will Lovatt, both marriages at Stretton.
if you would like to exchange information, please ask.
