R H Kinvig is mentioned in a few documents referenced when I was searching for information on Michael Wise. He was connected with the University of Birmingham,. and also other presidents including Percy Roxby.
He served as President of the Institute of British Geographers in 1957.
He wrote a history of the Isle of Man.
The University of Birmingham still has a Kinvig Geographical Society.
