Probably of no use but there was a Chinn fishing rod manufacturer, but not Joseph., and he seemed to make walking sticks before he made fishing rods:
In the 1867 and 1868 Kellys there is an Edward Chinn, fishing rod manufacturer at 53 Potter St. He is not listed in 1862 or 1872. The 1871 census lists an Edward chinn (16) living with his mother Mary chinn at 54 Potter St (next door). Here his address seems to be filer.
Also at no 54 (sep.household) is James archer (42) walking stick manuf. and wife alice Archer (40)
Going back, the 1862 corporation directory lists Edward at 53 Potter St, as a walking stick maker. In the 1861 census at 53 Potter st is:
Edwin Chinn head. 43 walking stick manuf. born london
Mary /Chinn wife 38 born Nottingham
Lavinia (?) Chinn daugh. 20 warehouse woman born Nottingham
Edwin Chinn 6 nephew born birm
James Chinn 4 months nephew born Birm.
(Apparently some fishing rod manufacturers were also walking stick manufacturers . according to the directory, though Edward is just marked as a walking stick manuf.)
The 1858 directory lists Edward Chinn at 53 Potter St, but does not give a trade
I think that the Edwin (senior & junior ) in the 1862 census should be Edward.

Jumping on this old post too, Alice Ann Chinn b1856 is my 3rd Great Grandmother but also a brick wall on my tree

I have her living at 78 New Street, Erdington with Robert Turner in 1935, I believe she died the year after and was buried at St Barnabus in Erdington in September 1936

They had A LOT of children - 14 from what I can see (although I'm fairly new to geneaology so I may have a few mistakes there), including my 2nd great grandfather, Stephen Turner b1875

Perhaps between us we can piece some bits together?

becki you are right, Robert and alice had 14 children and managed to keep all of them alive.
I am descended from Robert born 1878.
Alice is definitely the alice ann born 1856, her birth certificate came today, she was born 1 January 1856 to jane and joseph, jane was formerly kilvert.
Edward kilvert chin was her full brother, born 21 june 1854.
jane chin, formerly kilvert signed both birth certificates with an 'x'
