I am doing my Family Tree and a cousin Michael 5th to 8th has just turned up, with only 6 other names. Do you by any chance have a tree Carl. It would be good if I found we were relatives. As you and my dad both have and Had(in dads case) a love of Birmingham History. Vivian Bird. Sorry for being nosey. Best wishes Molly Langridge.
 
Hi Mooky,
As the holder of the records of the Midland Cycling & Athletic Club, I have got details of a Fred & Harry Chinn who were cycle racing around the late eighteen hundreds & both were champions.
I have in the past sent details of the brothers to a Paul Jones, if this name comes up in your research.
Good luck, John Bishop.
 
Hi Mooky, My grandmother on my fathers side was a Chinn, her father and his brother were Harry and Fred Chinn the cyclists. Let me know if youre still researching and i can share more.
 
Welcome Paul. Hopefully John and Molly see your post. And thank you for offering to share your history. Viv.
