I think his mother was Mary Maria ALICE Pethybridge/Petheridge born in Holne, in 1852.
Findmypast has the transcription of a Newton Abbot workhouse birth:
born on 01/04/1880 a MALE child to MARY PETHERBRIDGE of TORMOHAM baptised on 29/04/1880 a child called SYDNEY GEORGE
I also found a newspaper report of a Mary Maria Alice Pethbridge in 1877, alleging that one William Uglow had not been paying maintenance for his child by her. This is obviously not Sidney, but possibly a daughter b c1874 (from another newspaper report).
There is then the marriage of one Mary Maria A Pethybridge to William Henry Kinch in 1882 (I traced the other couple on the index on the 1891 census).
This is probably William Henry Kinch born in Torquay in 1852, joins the Navy.
A Sidney Kinch b c1880 arrives in Queensland 6 Nov 1883, as does a Mary Kinch b c1857.
This is all conjecture on my part and would need checking out, obviously.
