Christopher Flynn 1901
« on: Thursday 27 March 25 10:44 GMT (UK) »
Hi All.
I am trying to help my father in-law with his lost part of his ancestry.
Looking for the 1901 census for  Christopher Flynn bn 1874-1876 Wife Lilian Grace bn 1876, believed to be living at Walton on the Hill, West Derby, Lancashire, England.
Any help would be gratefully received.

Thank you.

The 1901 and 1911 Censuses deliver his YoB as 1870.
On his marriage cert, dated 26 Mar 1895, his age is given as 25 (YoB 1870)

On the 1871 Census Christopher B Flynn is aged 2 - father on census agrees with father's name on 1895 marriage cert.

Thank you kindly both of you, That is a great help. We were not sure on the birth of Christopher Flynn, and yes it appears his middle name was indeed Bernard. This does place more meat on the bones as to say..

I am told there was mentioned through the family there was a connection to one William Leefe Robinson, a WWI flying Ace..

A***y have a record of a Christopher Bernard Flynn applying for a pension from the Post Office at age 60, in May 1929. He joined 9th October 1887 and thus had 41 years and 7 months of service. His dob is given as 30th May 1869. It states that he was to be recommended for the Imperial Service Medal.

Added: his Catholic baptism record has the same birthdate (this record has mmn Gosson)

26 June 1929: Liverpool Daily Post reports that he was indeed awarded the Imperial Service Medal. Because this thread is a lookup request I can’t post an image, but it doesn’t have any other details anyway, just the names of three other Liverpool postal workers who were also awarded the medal.
