Thomas Flynn was born in Westport in 1841 he moved to England and married Ellen Fleming in 1869 in Accrington Lancashire.Could anyone please give me any info about his family ie:his birth,parents names,siblings,parents marriage etc:I think his Fathers name was Charles Flynn.
I don't know if Ellen Fleming was born in Westport,but i think her Fathers name was James Fleming.
As well as they children named by Dee .They also had A son named Thomas he died very young in infancy , another son Edward ,Edward died in the 1920,s .
Their marriage although recored as Blackburn was actually at St Oswald's in Accrington /Church on Hyndburn road.
John their son Married Ellen Hogan and lived in spring Hill he owned the fish mongers He and his Wife Ellen Hogan adopted on of the Henry Brothers the other brother I believe also lived with them in springhill. One of the UK census's also show Ellen's mother living with them 9she was born Nenagh Tipperary)
Charles Flynn (son) married Bridget Guinane in Accrington Sacred Heart Church Blackburn Road.
Charles joined the East Lancashire Regiment address at the time was Napier Street Accrington, he seemed to move around the local area quite a lot other addresses in the area were South Street ,13 Augusta street and Grange Lane ...I recon he was dodging the rent man!!Charles died abt 1923 of injuries sustained during the war (he was gassed) and is recorded on the Roll of Honour now housed at St Mary's in Ossy. i have also been told that he help dig the "hump" out of Accrington Stanley's former ground Peel park which this aggravated his chest and ultimately caused his death.....
Annie (daughter)married Alfred Lewis and lived in Baxenden the children i can remember are Bertha ,Annie,James, I cant remember her name but I think they had another daughter .
I sure some one already Knows this ....CROZBI was Alfreds Lewis's mother surname ??
I have seen the record of Thomas and Ellens marriage Charles was recorded as Thomas's father.
I noted when searching the Church Records a lot of the christenings of the children showed the Bolton/Boultons as the children god parents.
ah well I cant remember much more at the moment i ll keep an eye on these posts and add what other info i have when I remember. For any one who is interested I do have quite a few Certificates of the Flynn's you can have copies if you wish along with photo copies of the church records.
All the best
