Yes I know the one to which you refer, and although the dates are a tad out, I am wondering if she was baptised Mary Ann? I say this because when her sister's eldest daughter (my future Grand mother) was born in 1882, she was named Mary Ann...perhaps in memory of her late sister. Food for thought and thanksThere is a Birmingham death registered in 1874 of a Mary Ann Flinn (born abt 1854).
Hi Mikejee thanks for this information. This James Flynn is in my family tree. He was the second husband of my Great, Great, Great Grandmother, and his son Michael was the first husband of my Great Great Grandmother (she was his step sister so no direct relation).In the 1858, 1860,1867 & 1868 directories James Flynn is listed as a shopkeeper at 21 Slaney St. In the 1855 directory Mary Lucas is a shopkeeper there, and in 1872 ther e is no listing for no 21. (Note the year is the year of publication and is usually taken to refer to the year before.) If he had been a tailor it would have listed him as that in the directory. A shopkeeper would almost certainly have been a mixed store selling mixed general items ,
the 1861 census gives James Flynn at no 21 as being a brick labourer, aged52, (born in ireland but cannot decipher county), married to Catherine aged 53
So does not look like your ancestor I'm afraid.
