How do you pronounce in English the manufacturer's name of Eley and Kynoch? I think I spelled them right, hope so anyway.

Gnomon, you got eelee right, but it is pronounced Kinock. As in eye. It was never Eley and Kynock, always Eley-Kynoch
You also spelled cholmondley wrong too, not your day.

OK, back to square one. How do you pronounce the E and K words? Please include stress marks.

A "stress mark" is the proper term for what most of us know as an "accent mark". It is a neccesary part of explaining the correct pronunciation of a word in the English language.

I thought "chumley" was a joke said in the spirit of the thread i.e some of those English words are pronounced a long way from their spelling.
Mike, I was born and raised in MB. Where in the province are you? Any problems with water this spring? My entire life in Manitoba I lived on the Red. Flood threats just seem normal. I moved back there from Toronto with an Ontario girl 10 years ago. Thought it was funny how nervous she was about the spring water levels. We were on the river but inside the floodway. Duff Roblin was my uncle...that meant for family solidarity I had to have confidence the floodway would handle whatever nature threw at it. First winter there a fellow dropped by who had grown up in our house in the forties. He told my wife about paddling in the front door and out the french doors to the back yard in 1950. She never relaxed after that. LOL
Regards,
James

Mike Mike - you obviously have never been asked how to pronounce "Cholmondley"! And Kinnock is pronounced correctly. Yep, it was my day after all. And it's pronounced "Wooster" Now, Mike, try to pronounce London's "Beauchamp Place" Some might pronounce it Chumley.
