Thank you Phoenix

Hi Linda Original Bishops Transcripts, even where compiled on a county-wide basis, usually show where a marriage took place. It is worth either getting hold of the mormon microfilm or contacting the Suffolk Record Office, to see where the info comes from.

Sorry for delay in replying, the site went down. there are several flint families on Norfolk/Suffolk borders but i havn't been able to link them yet. maybe i can now with the new info you have all given me. i only found Anns maiden name yesterday when i found their children baptisms on microfilm at the forum so i willhave to look for them on the cencus. Thank you all for your help Linda sorry about typing, my cat is sitting on my lap and is in the way!!

Linda I've amended my posting about the details. I think there's a strong possibility that Loddon (or somewhere in the area) is Edward's birthplace and that the marriage there may be a guess or may be right. They could alternatively have married in Ann's home parish and then moved to Edward's birthplace to have their family. you could try looking for other Flints in the Loddon area on the census to see if you can find possible family members, and look for Hobbles in Suffolk to see if you can locate an area for Ann's lot. nell

the marriage came from familysearch.org IGI extracted from local records

Yes Nell that IS them in 1851

Again, this is the only pair of Edward/Ann Flints born Norfolk/Suffolk on 1841: Wheatacre Burgh Norfolk [again Loddon reg district] Edward Flint abt 1786 Norfolk, England Norfolk Ann Flint abt 1791 Norfolk, England Robert Flint abt 1821 Norfolk, England Benjamin Flint abt 1826 Norfolk, England Norfolk 1815 marriage details EDWARD FLINT Marriages: Spouse: ANN HOBBLES Marriage: 18 OCT 1815 Suffolk County Bts, Suffolk, England Source Information: Batch No.: Dates: M131601 1815 I'm wondering if this is in fact the actual marriage, or perhaps the banns or licence details? Alternatively, the Loddon marriage details may be wrong, the submitter just assuming they married in Edward's birthplace and guessing the marriage date going on details of the first child's birth? If you'd only posted this before I went to Norfolk Records office I could have checked the Loddon marriage register! I have family from around the area too, though none called Flint or Hobbles, sadly :-(( nell

Yes maybe Edward, thank you Nell

This is the only Edward on IGI born around that time in Norfolk: Edward Flint Birth: 1783 Loddon, Norfolk Marriages: Spouse: Ann Marriage: About 1817 Loddon, Norfolk The spouse has the right name but the year and place are wrong, however this is information from a personal submission (submitter's details not known) so it might be inaccurate, although the only Edward Flint born Norfolk married to an Ann born Suffolk I can find in 1851 is Burgh St Peter Norfolk [in Loddon reg district] Edward Flint abt 1783 Norfolk, England Head Ann Flint abt 1797 Suffolk, England Wife Robert Flint abt 1820 Norfolk, England Son Benjamin Flint abt 1827 Norfolk, England Son Jonathan Utley abt 1830 Norfolk, England Son If this is your couple then Jonathan is another mystery. If not, then I reckon this is the pair from the Loddon marriage. nell

thanks Nell, that looks likely it could be her.

No idea where they married , that is what i am hoping to find. Just found their deaths childrens births at Wheatacre, norfolk on microfilm

Possible for Ann: ANN HOBBS Christening: 07 MAR 1790 Tuddenham St. Mary, Suffolk Parents: Father: WM. HOBBS Mother: ANN Messages: Extracted birth or christening record for the locality listed in the record. The source records are usually arranged chronologically by the birth or christening date. Source Information: Batch No.: C062751 Dates 1765 - 1874

So Ann was born approx. 1789 and Edward approx. 1783/4.

I thought if I found the parish I might find their fathers and then maybe brothers of sister in parish records

Where did they marry in Suffolk? It could well be the bride's birth parish.

Ann died 08/06/1853 aged 64 Edward died 16/01/1861 aged 77 Thanks Sue for looking

Nell, yes thats what I thought. He could have hung on a few more week till April

Do you have an approximate age from their death certs?

How inconsiderate of them not to give details and then have the nerve to die before 1861 census!! nell

Edward Flint and Ann Hobbles. I have them on 1841 and 1851 but only gives county. He died jan 1861 and she died 1853 Linda
