Arthur Kinsey

Arthur A. Kinsey, (1850-1888) was the Principal of the Ealing Training College, and an oralist teacher of the deaf. He was born the son of an Arthur Kinsey, ‘gentleman’. From his evidence to the Royal Commission we know that part of his education was in Germany. It may be that explains why I have been unable to find him in 1861 or 1871 or 1881 census returns. He was the leading instrument for oralism in the period from 1877 to his death on Christmas Day, 1888.
