Father: James Dinnick 1815 - 1883 Devon England
-----
" In Toronto he opened business as a builder, contractor and general speculator. He likewise began to deal extensively in the selling of properties, in buy up certain tracts of land and building houses thereon. He had a quick, far-reaching insight into business, and he soon saw that his enterprise was being crowned with success. One achievement became the foundation for another one still more important. Mr. Dinnick has shown concern for affairs lying beyond the circle of his own business. At present he is a member of the Sanitary Association, and institution badly needed in Toronto. In 1881 he joined the Masonic order, and is a very highly respected member of that body. He is likewise an Odd fellow, having joined this association in 1880. In religion he is a member of the Methodist communion. No political party can lay claim to him, he being an advocate of pure and efficient administration, and takes an intelligent and unbiased interest in public questions. In 1866 he married Eliza Ann Brown, a daughter of Austin Brown, of Toronto. By this lady he has had five children. Through unfailing integrity and persistent industry Mr. Dinnick—although he has sustained in the vicissitudes of fortune some heavy losses—has now secured a handsome competence, and holds one of the first places among the builders and contractors of Toronto."
