There is a Jeremiah Quinton Flenley in the IGI who married Ann Smith 23rd July 1817 at St. Andrews, London. He has to be related since the original William Flenley b. 1754 was buried in St. Andrews in 1817 (aged 63) and William's son Charles was christened at St. Andrews but that would make Jeremiah William's son or grandson (or maybe nephew) rather than a forebear. That is the only reference I have found to Jeremiah Quinton and I haven't been able to tie him to the family so I'm reluctant to put him in as guesswork. Jeremiah could, of course, be William's son and could have been named after his grandfather but, again, that's just speculation at the moment.
I am aware of the Liverpool families but have never been able to tie them directly to mine. It would seem that William (b. 1754) moved down to London pretty soon after arriving in England and that is where my family begins. Maybe the Liverpool Flenleys come from William's first son William (b, 1780)?
The next step is to exchange trees and see where we are. Is there any way on here to exchange email addresses without it being public?
Incidentally, as you are probably aware, Flenley is an incredibly rare name. I recently checked the GRO (and some overseas births) and found that only 47 Flenleys have been born in England since 1975 plus 2 in Japan! It seems that there are currently just 23 Flenley families which, almost certainly after nine generations, spring from William Flenley or his kin who came over from Ireland!
I have been pretty lucky since my father's name (Ellingham) is also quite scarce as is my wife's father's name (Parsley) but her mother is descended from Barretts, Wilsons and Smiths!!
