Hi Hubert, We have had several contacts before re your Flowers family, I'm glad you have now got the pic from Banbury web site for Henry or 'Harry' Flowers buried @ Southam rd cemetery Yes Henry & Ann did have 10 children all bapt in Banbury - but not all of them at St Mary's Cof E. Possibly you did not receive this post last time I sent it for you via list - would you be kind enough to let me know if you get this one & if it helps your research any please Hubert - Thanks. Baptisms from St Mary's ....... 1848 Emily Anne 1850 Clement 1852 Bernard 1866 Hubert Henry Baptisms from Christchurch South Banbury ........... 1854 Harry 1856 Horace 1857 Edgar Harris 1859 Ada Louise 1860 Laura Annie 1863 Amy Alexandra Seems Henry & Ann changed churches for several years - therefore a change in their religious beliefs may be possible also - have you looked at Methodist records etc/villages/out of county for marriages ?? From the info that can be found in baptism entries for Henry & Ann's offspring - Henry is noted as being *butcher 1848 in the Market Place, then from 1850 (2nd child) *butcher, High Street. I know Henry is recorded in 'Kelly's Directory' with his exact address, number 30 High St seems to ring a bell with me - but you need to chase that one for details yourself. By 1879 Clement - Henry & Ann's 1st son is also married & baptising children - 1st with an address in High St, then by 1885 Fish St (now known as George St) then by 1887 back to no. 20 High St. Clement like Henry & several other family members are noted as 'butcher' Yes, Henry was a Mayor of Banbury for one term - therefore you should be able to find further information from either Banbury Museum or The Centre of Banburyshire Studies - the contact details for both I've recently given to list - so they will be in the list archives.
