In Spanish it's pronounced ee-NAYSS and ee-nayth in certain parts of Spain I believe. In English, in-NEZ is generally accepted, but I don't know where she got EYE from. I find it's not uncommon for older people to really change a foreign word or name to fit into their preferred English pronunciation. I think that's just what they did back then. My grandfather will say SAA-dum and O-samm-a bin-LADD-in, thing like that. I know he would pronounce Inez as EYE-nez if he saw it. That's what he does. I think that's just what they did back then -- pronounced foreign words however they wanted for the most part. (I live in the Northeastern United States, so it's not a Southern thing.)
