• Name: Samuel KINNEAR
• Residence: 1901, Downpatrick, , Down, Northern Ireland

Notes:

It is possible that this Samuel (or maybe his son) is the related Kinnear that Aunt Annie had heard went to Scotland and assumed had remained there. Since then she has heard from Jack Kinnear (perhaps through Miriam) that his father or grandfather had gone to Scotland but later returned to N.Ireland. Jack thinks his grandfather was called either William or Samuel. If it was Samuel then it may well be this Samuel born in 1843

Notes:

We do not know who his wife was or exactly how many children they had. However, there is evidence to suggest that he had, at least, the following

We know that John(2) and William(3) were brothers as two of their sons are referred to as cousins in later marriage records of Downpatrick Unitarian church. In turn, descendants of William and James (4) were known by Mum and Aunt Annie to be fairly closely related. The old baptismal records for the Downpatrick Unitarian church show a James Kinnear born to William in 1779. Based on this and the above, I have assumed that they were all brothers and sons of William (1)

Note William is as far back as I have managed to trace the links.

Here is a record however from 2 generations earlier to a John Kinner. There's every chance that this John was an earlier relative of our William Kinner, perhaps even his grandfather as the family name "John" is repeated in later generations:
