A tree on Ancestry says that the one who died in 1942 was born 29 July 1864, Mile End, London, son of George William Chinnery & Priscilla Sarah Sharp. He married Rosina Tappin.

Assuming the 1942 death to be the right one:

Elsie Marie Chinnery 15
Ernest Alfred Chinnery 13
Gertrude Chinnery 7

The son Luther George (in 1911 census above) died in 1957.

He's the one whose records Pam posted earlier, who married Isabel Harris in 1914, and had a son, also Luther, born 1922..

I can't see Elsie Marie after 1911.

There are too many Ernest Alfred Chinnery's to identify him definitely later, without seeing certs..

This is the nearest feasible death, re age:

Ernest A Chinnery
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Ernest A Chinnery
Birth Date: abt 1899
Date of Registration: Mar 1955
Age at Death: 56
Registration district: Portsmouth
Inferred County: Hampshire
Volume: 6b

Administration to Rosa Dorothy Chinnery, widow.

So probably his marriage, which is in the right place:

Marriages Dec 1921 (>99%)
Bird Rosa D P Chinnery Hackney 1b 994
Chinnery Ernest A Bird Hackney 1b 994

They had a son 1922 and daughter 1924, both in Hackney, a daughter in Gosport 1932, and a son 1939 and a daughter 1942, both in Portsmouth.
Details on FreeBMD.

Possible marriage of Gertrude (in 1911 census, daughter of Luther 1864;

Marriages Mar 1934 (>99%)
Chinnery Gertrude Collier Hackney 1b 629
Collier Albert V Chinnery Hackney 1b 629

And possibly her death:

Gertrude Collier
in the England & Wales, Civil Registration Death Index, 1916-2007
Name: Gertrude Collier
Birth Date: 5 Apr 1903 [your Gertrude was born 2nd qr of 1903, so that matches]
Date of Registration: Sep 1977
Age at Death: 74
Registration district: Redbridge
Inferred County: Greater London
Volume: 14

One daughter born 1926 Hackney.

The youngest of the possible children of Ernest, born 1942, Portsmouth, married a Parnell in Portsmouth in 1966.

I don't see any children.
