Sinnamon / Thompson from Northern Ireland

[Lesl1e]

Hello William,

I believe that Nancy's father was William Mills.

Nancy and Thomas married in the Church of Ireland in Tullylish, Banbridge,
County Down so William Mills' family must have come from around there.

Good luck in your research.

Regards, Leslie

Thank you very much for the information.

I am trying to trace any information on a Sinnamon who emigrated from Northern Ireland in the 1800s
and also a Jim (?) Thompson from Northern Ireland, related through his mother to Sinnamons,
who also emigrated to New Zealand possibly between 1930 and 1950.

The Thompson that I was trying to trace was James Jackson Thompson.

He was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, between July and September 1913. His mother was Martha Ellen/Eleanor Sinnamon, born 1877-79, daughter of Thomas Sinnamon [and Nancy Mills] from Bleary, County Down, born about 1830 and died 20 August 1908.

I am a descendant of Hugh Lockhart Sinnamon who emigrated to New Zealand sometime in the 1860's, after first going to the gold rush in Victoria, Australia.  We believe that Hugh is the brother of Thomas Sinnamon who married Nancy Mills.  I have James Jackson Thompson on my Sinnamon Family tree, who came to New Zealand aboard the "Ruahine" in June 1954.  His DOB was 11 August 1913, and he died on 17 June 1968 (as previously mentioned).

I believe that James also had a brother, Noel John Sinnamon Thompson.  If you want any more information on the Sinnamon side of your family, particularly in New Zealand, feel free to get in touch!  Whilst there have been a couple of other Sinnamon's who came to New Zealand, it is only my ancestor, Hugh Lockhart, who actually settled here.

Hello Tikva,

Good to hear from you again.
I have Noel's birth and death (about 2002 ?) in Camberley, Surrey, England
and also James's birth and death dates.
Do you know if James ever married and had any children ?

Dace Sinnamon gave me Bill Sergeant's address and he sent me a copy of Noel's
autobiography. Very interesting.

Regards, Leslie

Hi again,

Further to my post above, I have recently discovered that Hugh Lockhart Sinnamon DID in fact have a sister that emigrated to New Zealand and they settled here.  Her name was Martha and she married a Charles Lockhart in Ireland and they emigrated to New Zealand shortly thereafter.  Not sure if that's of interest to you though.

I ordered her Death Printout here in New Zealand, and was FINALLY able to find out the name of their mother!  Her name was Mary Parr, not Susannah Lockhart as we had thought.  A brick wall finally broken through after so many years of searching.  Get in touch if you'd like more info.
