FLINT brothers (or cousins?)

[lizdb]

1861 is confusing, as John's age and wife's are indexed as 21. The image could well be 21, but is not that clear and could just as well be 31!!! Again childrens ages suggest both he and wife Mary are older

Wow. Thank you very much indeed, you make it look so easy.

There was certainly a very complicated web of Flints in the area. I shall urge my colleague to buy the necessary documents.

The mystery still remains surrounding Hugh and W.E.?

I would speculate that the parents of Thomas B Flint were James Hunston and Mary Alice (nee Yates) who married in Prestwich in 1898.

I cant get anywhere on 1851. Ceetainly plenty of Flints around, they were a local family!

Shall I see how many of John and Mary/then Betsy's children I can trace forwrds?

I think we have found:
first marriage -
Alfred
Arthur
Amelia

second marraige-
Mary
Albert
John
Victor
Ullyses
Beatrice
Edward

We have already got John, Albert, Victor and Ullyses on 1891 and saw that John married Ruth and the John (bn 1870), and that ALbert married ALice and had Dyson, James and Albert E, and that Victor and Ullyses were still single as at 1891.

Here are MAry and Beatrice in 1891
RG12 3282 27 16
113 Clayton Lane

John William Charlesworth 28 overworker cotton goods bn Manchester
MAry wife 25 bn Newton Heath
John William 3 son bn Clayton
Beatrice Flint 16 unm ssiter in law bn Newton Heath

Doesnt look as if Victor is father of any of the others

1901
RG13 3325 152 19
Sale Cheshire

Victor 29 Fish and game salesman bn Manchester
Annie wife 29 bn Droylsden
a servant (forgot to note name!)
Archibald Burns nephew 12 butcher shopkeeper bn Droysden

so looks as if another sister married a Burns.

[lizdb]

or maybe not. I thnk Archibald must be a nephew on Victor's wife's side as he doesnt fit into the Flints
He is on 1891 with parents Archibald and Flora, who seem to be the ones who married 1888, her being Flora McDonald.
Vicotrs wife, if the 1893 marraige on FreeBMD is his, was Annie Hollingsworth, so not sure how it all fits together there.

Ullyses is still single in 1901at RG13 3766 17 26, a boarder.

Arthur has a family by 1901 - with all the same names! Just to confuse us, as these children would be old enough to serve in WW1. (Useful to look and see if any Flintso n CWGC were sons of Arthur and Teresa)

RG13 3539 27 5
Sefton Street Southport
Arthur 48 Fruiterer bn Manch
Teresa 49 bn Liverpool
John 15
Albert 13
Arthur 8
Oswald 6    all children bn Southport

You're doing a fabulous job! Thank you. I had to go to a couple of meetings.

The need for my colleague to invest in the 1911 census is becoming more apparent. I shall try to encourage him again.

We're up to eight potential WWI servicemen!

Can you check who are the parents of

Edith Flint, b. Q3 1893 Clayton (Ashton 8d 486)
Leonard Flint, b. Q3 1897 Clayton (Prestwich 8d 396)
Pauline Flint, b. Q4 1899 Clayton (Prestwich 8d 338)

All appear in 1901 census.

Indeed!
