Notes:

He was on the 1907 Downpatrick Unitarian Church Committee

Owing to depressing times in the farming industry, and to heavy financial involvement in a new farm in Ballydonnety, sometime in the late 1920's Tom Kinnear sold out, and took his younger eight children to Canada. There they established a home, the older ones caring for the younger ones. Later Tom re-married, came back to Ireland where he later died. The whole family have made good.

Aunt Annie also thought that Thomas may have been a cousin of her grandfather James Kinner.

Notes:

Mrs. Dickson was left a widow then Thomas was about five. She proved to be a wise mother, and a shrewd business woman. She added to the family lands by buying an adjacent farm where the freater part of her widowed years were spent with her family, who surely "rose up to call her blessed". Her boys responded to her wise training and were a credit to her. Grandfather Heenan's memory of her - "she was real handsome".
