Flash, Derbyshire
« on: Wednesday 19 April 06 20:28 BST (UK) »
Wonder if anyone can tell me where the parish records for Flash in Derbyshire might be kept?  or who I could contact to obtain informaiton?  I have an ancestor who was born there in 1835 - John Moss (son of chap of same name) - who gave this as his birth place.  On later census records he was to be found at Wall Nook in Hartington Upper Quarter, but although I know where Hartington Upper Quarter was, I am not sure where Wall Nook was - could it be a specific address or an area?  Help!!

Having paid a visit to the tiny village of Flash this weekend in the driving rain, I found a few Moss family members in the overgrown graveyard so I feel I must be on the right track.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

John Moss is a common name in my family around the north eastern part of Staffordshire. Every man and his dog were called John Moss.  My ancestor John Moss born c1792 in Leek, Sts. married his cousin Mary Moss daughter of John Moss.

Hi Veebareeba, Think Flash might be under Staffordshire just but it does border Derbyshire and Cheshire, popular with smugglers in centuries gone by for escaping from the police in Staffordshire and also where the term Flash money comes from. The parish records will be at Staffordshire Record Office in Stafford and the Record Office at Lichfield definitley I think.

Kena is right I think, Staffs records office is the place to go and look for Flash filed under "Q" for Quarnford probably  Wink

Send me a pm about what you need looking up. I have ordered the film off the LDS. 1813 - 1856 if

that is any use to you. It should be here within the next week or two.

Thank you so much for the information - much appreciated.  I will start sifting through my Moss family to see how they fit in.

Once again, I do appreciate your help. Smiley

Hi Veebareeba,
I would think anyone researching anywhere in Derbyshire would do well to have a look at this site - it was one of the sites recommended by SOG at the 'Who do you think you are Live' show on Sunday.
www.wirksworth.org.uk
There's loads on this site - it might look a bit daunting, and busy, but it's loaded with goodies.
Good hunting.
Kind regards,

I have ancestors from Flash - The Heapy family and I also have the Quarnford MIs and the Moss family features several times - can you tell me any more about your John Moss. ? Flash is definitely in Staffs- well it is now.  One of my Heapy ancestors married at Alstonefield a spinster from Hartington - it is not so far across the fields.
