FLINT of Clayton

[JustinL]

Hello,

I first made enquiries about members of an extended FLINT family who served in World War One. This is the thread:

http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,391031.0.html

Having received a huge amount of help, I am a bit closer to knowing the answers to the WWI questions, but have gained a vast amount of info on the intricate web of FLINTs in Clayton through the 19th century.

The 1911 census has shown that my colleague's gf is the son of James H. and Mary A. FLINT. James was born in Chorlton on Medlock in c1875; Mary was born in Bradford, Manchester in c1877. They had been married 12 years.

A matching marriage registration in Q4 1898 records James Hunston Flint and Mary Alice Yates.

I would appreciate some help in tracing James. I can find now birth registration, nor a match in the 1881 census.

Hello Trish and Barbara,

Trish - you have found the right man in 1901. He was a fustian cutter at the time; he went on to become a green grocer.

Barbara - That is very interesting. Have to check the 1881 census again.

Thank you MIGKY I was being lazy and should have googled it.

If Thomas is our man he seems to have had 3 wives
