The history of the Kinmonth family in Cork, Ireland. The Kinmonths were a family that lived in Perthshire since 1208. In the 18th century they were weavers in villages south of the city of Perth. Sometime around 1750 one of the Kinmonths came to Cork to work as a weaver in the new linen weaving trade and settled in Blackpool in the parish of St. Anne's in Shandon. The book describes the growth of the family and follows one in particular, that of Thomas Kinmonth and his son William who became a prosperous merchant, a Town Councillor and a Justice of the Peace in the late 19th century.
