kenchin noun plural children 20-. See kinchin etymology: perhaps a development from German kindchen ‘a small child’; attested by JS and SR note:

Lexicon Balatronicum (1811) and Grose and Egan (1823) attest this as ‘Cant’

Canadian, Paul Pope (2013), cites this but meaning ‘child carried on the back on a slate or in a cloth’.
