By 1703 William was residing in Marnhull, Dorset and was still reported as living there in 1712. William is thought to be the same William, son of Christopher and Hannah Chinn of Hinton St. Mary, and if so would have been Baptised on Dec 8 1682.
It is possible that this branch of the family moved to Fordington St. George, Dorset (near Dorchester). A William Chinn is recorded as having baptised two more daughters there. The second baptism is recorded as being 1726 to William and his wife Mary. The first baptism in 1717 by wife "Ann" may be unrelated to this family; or may be an error in the record.

From the 1820s to the 1880s, Australia underwent major processes that laid the foundation for its present society. Among these were the establishment of new colonies along the coasts, the expansion of sheep and cattle raising in the interior, and the discovery of gold and other minerals in the eastern colonies. As a prelude to increased British interest, Captain James Stirling (later Sir James) explored the Swan River on the western coast in 1827 and led a group of British investors in the establishment of Western Australia in 1829. Underfinanced, Stirling's new settlement of free settlers at Perth stagnated.
Lachlan Macquarie, served as governor from 1809 to 1821. Macquarie began an extensive public works program, employing the ex-convict Francis Greenway to design churches, hospitals, and government buildings in Sydney. The population of the colony also increased after Britain's defeat of Napoleon in 1814. In 1819, the British Colonial Office sent Judge John Thomas Bigge to inspect and report on Macquarie's administration. He recommended slashes in government expenses but assumed that New South Wales should continue as a convict settlement. He also, however, recognized the colony's growing importance to the British Empire as a home for wealthy free settlers, and he popularized the name Australia for the southern continent. Bigge's reports resulted in a major change in the constitution for New South Wales in 1823. Primary interest in emigrating to Australia was for sheep farming and the availability of convict labour. By 1829 the government had become concerned about the dispersal of the sheep farmers, or graziers, who were known as squatters, since they obtained licenses to "squat" on the land they wanted rather than buying it. Efforts to control squatting failed, in part because of the continuing demand from British textile mills for more wool.
John arrived in Australia sometime prior to this period and there is record of a son being born to him and his wife Ann circa 1828.
In April 1851, Edward Hargraves found gold at Summer Hill Creek in New South Wales. With the recent experience of the California gold rush in mind, others joined in the rush, which quickly became centered in Victoria at Mount Alexander, Ballarat, and Bendigo. Gold was later found elsewhere in New South Wales and Queensland. In the following ten years, Australia exported more than 124 million pounds worth of gold alone. By 1861 the Australian population had reached almost 1.2 million, a threefold increase over the 1850 population of 400,000.
