I am more than happy to help with any information on any person with a variant of the name Sennett, Sinnett, Sinnott, Synnott etc.  I have an extensive database (nearly 40,000 names) with most of these linked to a bigger family group so may be able to help fill in gaps for you.  I'm also very happy to work collaboratively with you on wikitree profiles of these names.   If you want to contact me directly, you can do so through my registered surname project at the Guild of One Name Studies (www.one-name.org).

How does your database information differ from the free site, Surnamedb.com ?

They show it recorded as Senett, Sennett, Sinnatt, Sinnott, Sinnett, Synnot.

Surnamedb is quite a useful site for looking at incidence and frequency of the name.   From looking at surnamedb.com I would say the S*NN*T registered surname study (Guild of One-Name Studies) has considerably more information and detail than surnamedb.com as I focus on family tree reconstruction and adding detail about individuals from a very wide range of sources, not just the incidence statistics of surnamedb.    Surnamedb also repeats information about the origins of the name (widely published online) that isn't entirely correct or complete, and again, I have a lot better sourced and verified information available.  I also have quite wide networks of other researchers of this group of names, and am able to put people from the same ancestral groups in touch with each other.

Yes, all those variant spellings you note are ones I have come across and include - and a whole lot more.  Just about every combination of vowels, and either one N or two, and one T or two can occur - often wrongly recorded initially, but then becoming the spelling for a particular branch of the family.

Hello,  

I am searching for my gg grandfather.  John Sinnott b. 1845 England.  Father is Michael and mother is Elizabeth.   He immigrated to New York City (not sure of the year). He married Annie Smith in 1874 NYC.  Annie and John had one child Anna Sinnott Sennett Banta.   John died before 1900 but was alive on an 1880 census living in Bayonne NJ with Annie and 5 year old Anna.  Next I see Annie is she is living in Manhattan NY 1900 with grown Anna with her infant son Henry. Sadly Annie passes July 1900.  I don't know anything about John other than he is a laborer.  I have followed my Irish roots with the Smith family but to know avail can I find where John is buried or who Michale and Elizabeth are in England. Please and thank you for any help!
