I dont have my info to hand now but I'll look it up this evening. Do you have any info on the John Flynn, eg marriage cert which should give age & fathers name. Have you checked Ellis Island site for sailings or did he travel before. I have a Mary Flynn who went to USA through Ellis Island and written on Imgn info that she was going to her sister in New Jersey. She kept in contact with my mothers 1st cousin who remembers letters coming from her to his parents but no address survives today. I'll get my info together & if you give me your email I'll mail it directly Regards Noel: nokeeffe@indigo.ie

Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4dW.2ACEB/1405.1.1.1 Message Board Post: Thank you for your reply. The only info I have is that John Flynn married a Mary (Maime) Gorman. John was from County Cork, Ireland and Mary may also have been from County Cork. They immigrated to Elmira, New York where he worked on the Railroad and had children named Anna or Annie, Mary Agnes, Noni and maybe a Kate. The daughter named Mary Agnes was born in Elmira New York in 1905. Mary Gordan-Flynn died around 1935 and John probably prior to that. The daughter Mary Agnes married Harry M. Hadlock and they had one son, John and three daughters named Ann, Mary and Joan. Do you think your Patrick Flynn could be a Patrick John Flynn? Let me know if this fits in at all. Thank you so very much. Joan: esroka@netzero.net

trflynn@att.net, Your concern over the spelling of Flinn or Flynn is easily put to rest when you realize that Oliver Cromwell, in 1650, decreed that all Irish names be spelled and pronouced as if they were English names. Thus Flinn, or O'Flinn or O'Floinn, became Flynn for the most part. Those O'Flinns who escaped to America prior to that date retained the Flinn or O'Floinn spelling. Those, mostly in Ulster, who somehow spelled the name O'Fhloinn (most were illiterate then) became O'Linn, then O'Lynn or Lynn after Cromwell. Never the less, they were all the same clan even those who moved to Scotland much earlier, all having descended from King Colla Uais in the 2nd century. My ancestor, Edmond O'Flinn Came to Kent County MD prior to the Cromwell edict, around 1640. Most of his descendants dropped the O and were Flinns for a few generations. Some of them used the spelling Flynn, as some of my cousins do now. My sisters name on her birth certificate is spelled Flynn. So when you are doing research, search for both spellings or you are bound to miss someone. from johnflinn111@cox.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "ConnorsGenealogy" <nymets11@pacbell.net> To: <FLYNN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, December 02, 2004 9:15 AM Subject: [FLYNN] MSG Board - flynns in england, 1850-74 > Message Board URL: > > http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/4dW.2ACEB/1482 > > Message Board Post: > > I've been to England twice searching ancestral Flynns(Flinns). > I believe they went to England abt 1850(famine) and were in Sheffield then > Halifax in the 1851-71 period.

My mother is a Flynn fom McKeesport, PA, where there is and has been a large contingent of Flynns since at least the early 1900s. I am trying to locate more on my great great grandfather, whose name I believe was Joseph Flynn, from Ireland. His wife's name was Elizabeth Price. They had several children, one of which was my great grandfather Abram (or Abraham) Flynn. My grandfather was also named Abraham Flynn. The information I did find was from the 1880 census. Everything seems to match,although we didn't know the names of the children of Joseph and Elizabeth Flynn, and we don't know why they were in Columbus. dragan@gorell.com
