The
QUINNEY Family of C17th/C18th Bidford-on-Avon, Warwickshire
|
|
|
Distribution
of the family name in 1881
showing a South Midlands focus.
|
Although
there is a recognised Gaelic origin for the family name in the
Isle of Man, the Midlands name may have a separate and unrelated
origin, if it wasn't an early immigrant family from the IOM or
Ireland. The nearby villages of Quinton may be the origin. Since
they were mentioned in the 1086 Domesday Book, it is likely
"Quinn's or Quinney's Farm" may be the local origin of
the name. A road in the centre of Bidford,
near St. Joseph's church, is Quinney's Lane and may be related to
the local family who may have been landowners in an earlier
period. Like other Bidford families, there were likely later
migrations to rapidly expanding Birmingham.
Head of the tree believed to
be Josephi (Joseph) QUINNEY and his unknown wife. Children
include:
Johannes
(John/Jonathan) QUINNEY (c.
6.3.1680);
Guilielmus
(William) QUINNEY (c. 15.8.1686);
Sarah QUINNEY
married Joseph WILKES
in 10.9.1703 Bidford (my 7xGGPs).
