I went to school in Liskeard and there was a Cornish boy there with the surname Ching.

There's some info on the BBC Legacies website. Seems to be a well-known name in England.

Have you contacted your local family history society? Many areas have amateur geneaologists who can explain how to research a surname and help identify useful resources.

As with many unusual names it may be helpful to recognise that there will be a number of alternative spellings - Chin, Chinn, Shinn, Chyng. That might help expand your search.
