KINSEY, WILLIAM MORGAN (1788–1851), divine and traveller, born in 1788 at Abergavenny, Monmouthshire, was son of Robert Morgan Kinsey, solicitor and banker at Abergavenny, and Caroline Hannah, his wife, daughter of Sir James Harington, bart. He matriculated at Oxford on 28 Nov. 1805, became a scholar of Trinity College, graduated B.A. in 1809, and proceeded M.A. in 1813. In 1815 he was elected a fellow of his college, dean in 1822, vice-president in 1823, and bursar in 1824. In 1822 he proceeded to the degree of B.D. In 1827 Kinsey made a tour in Portugal with the intention of making the country better known to the English people. From his journals and a series of letters written to his friend Thomas Haynes Bayly [q. v.], as well as from historical and other sources, Kinsey compiled a book, which appeared in 1828 under the title of ‘Portugal Illustrated.’ The work excited some little interest as a good account of the country, and was well illustrated with engravings by G. Cooke and Skelton, from drawings chiefly made by a companion during his tour. It was dedicated to Lord Auckland, to whom Kinsey was chaplain, and a second edition appeared in 1829. In 1830 Kinsey was travelling with Viscount Alford in Belgium, and, happening to be at Brussels at the outbreak of the revolution in August of that year, was an eye-witness of the conflict between the troops and the populace. About 1832 he was appointed minister of St. John's Church, Cheltenham, where he obtained some repute as a preacher, and published a few sermons. In 1843 he was appointed rector of Rotherfield Greys, Oxfordshire, where he resided until his death on 6 April 1851. He was the author of a few other pamphlets, and in January 1848 contributed a paper to the ‘Gentleman's Magazine’ entitled ‘Random Recollections of a Visit to Walton Hall.’

KINWELMERSH, KYNWELMERSH, or KINDLEMARSH, FRANCIS (fl. 1570), poet, belonged to an Essex family, whose name is spelt in a variety of ways. Thomas Kinwolmersh of Much Dunmow, Essex, served in the war in France in 1513 (Letters, &c., of Henry VIII, i. 596). Richard Kinwelmersh held in 1562 the manor of Newton Hall, now Great Dunmow (, Essex, ii. 424). He entered Gray's Inn in 1557. Two students of the same surname, Anthony and Robert, were admitted to the same inn in 1561 and 1563 respectively, and were probably Francis's brothers (, Gray's Inn Reg. pp. 27, 29, 32). Francis became intimate with the poet, George Gascoigne [q. v.], who was his fellow-student at Gray's Inn, and in 1566 they produced conjointly a blank-verse rendering of Euripides's ‘Phœnissæ,’ which they entitled ‘Jocasta.’ It was performed in the hall of their inn in the course of 1566, and was first published in Gascoigne's ‘Hundredth Sundrie Flowres’ in 1572. Kinwelmersh was responsible for acts i. and iv. Gascoigne wrote poems upon mottos suggested by Francis and his brother Anthony about 1566 (see, Works, ed. Hazlitt, i. 64–5). Francis was a contributor to the ‘Paradyse of Daynty Devises,’ 1576, and his initials, ‘F. K.,’ appear on the title-page in the list of ‘sundry learned gentlemen’ whose poems are included. In the title-pages of the editions of 1580 and 1600 the initials are expanded into ‘F. Kindlemarsh.’ Seven poems, chiefly on religious topics, bear the signature ‘F. K.’ in the first edition, and six in that of 1600. A poem (‘for Whitsunday’) in all the editions is signed ‘M. Kindlemarsh,’ and another piece is subscribed ‘M.K.’ In Bodenham's preface to ‘Belvedere, or the Garden of the Muses,’ 1600, ‘Francis Kindlemarsh, Esq.,’ figures, together with Norton, Gascoigne, Atchelow, and Whetstone, among deceased authors, to whose published and unpublished writings ‘due right’ is given by the compiler. According to a letter from Sir Francis Englefield [q. v.] to the Duchess of Feria [see ], on ‘Kindlemarsh,’ who seems to have been friendly with the Dormer family, was at Louvain in August 1569 (Cal. State Papers, Dom. Add. 1566–79, p. 285). ‘Francis Kinwelmarshe, Esq.,’ was elected M.P. for Bossiney, Cornwall, on 27 April 1572, at the same time as Gascoigne was returned for Midhurst.
