Find Ancestors

Jon, I would seriously consider getting his marriage cert as without it you are really at risk of going astray. Getting ages etc. from relatives is very dodgy, as I know to my cost!!
Incidentally, are you certain of his marriage?
Also, the spelling of Flinn was done by the enumerator, and not incorrect as such, just spelt as he heard it!

BrummieJean ... yep , that is our Whiteford lot !
we got 1877 from a relative and we think he was 78 when he died in 1954 .... am awaiting Death Cert as a relation is sure they have a copy !

Also looks like the Cumbria link was correct .... im not surprised i couldn't find him , they had altered the surname to flinn ! ( my family names seem the bane of my life !! ) he is listed as Flinn / Flynn / Flynne

E1916 ... Fenwick seems to have been a popular name in our Family ( it seems to have died out in the 20 / 30's ) as i've found abiut 7 of them !

Thank you all for this ... its a massive help and sets me off looking in the right directions :o)

Jon.... Flynn's found all over the Durham/Sunderland areas also the Whiteford's came from the same areas
This will be yours some where along the line..dont think there were too many with the name...(Janes father's name)

The " Co.Hanuhan" for Mary Flynn (1911 Census) I would suggest should be Co Monaghan.

How have you come by 1877 as a birth year for Charles?

This is the only one I can see in Northumberland in 1911 with the birth year you give:

You really do need that marriage cert.

Jon. Jane is listed as 18years on the 1911 Census (Hexam)

3 Charles Flynn's Ncle.

HOUSEHOLD FLYNN CHARLES M 1877 34 Newcastle upon Tyne Northumberland
HOUSEHOLD FLYNN CHARLES M 1850 61 Newcastle upon Tyne Northumberland
HOUSEHOLD FLYNN CHARLES M 1884 27 Newcastle upon Tyne Northumberland

Jon...I assume you have his Marriage Cert...Reg Sept.1912 Hexam...
That would show his fathers name and Charles address at time of his Marriage..
Have you looked at the 1911 Census to see if he was in the area...?

Hi,
Im looking for info on : Charles Flynn ( or Flynne ) born 1877 location ?? ( could be Ireland )

I believe he had siblings ( William/ Billy , Robert , Annie, Mary) with Charles being the eldest.

I know ( ish ) he married Jane Whiteford in 1912 and had several children ( some are recorded as Flynn others as Flynne )

I believe there is a link somewhere to Askam in Furness as a reletive can remember visiting Charles's sisters ( with Charles )across there in 1945 ..

Other than that ... i cant seem to find anything before him getting hitched in 1912 ....

If you come across anything , i would be glad of the info

Thanks in Advance

Jon
