This is the results of my trace so far - anyone with any additional info I'd love to hear from you. Robert Flint b: c1833 in Smalley married Sarah b: c1836. They had 8 children (that I aware of from Census records): William, Frank, Francis, Harriet, Thomas, Joseph, Henry and John. Thomas Flint b: c1869 in Heanor married Prudence b: c1867 from Langley Mill. They had 6 children: Robert, William, Elizabeth (my Great Grandmother), Jemima, Thomas and George. Thomas Died in 1897 in Hucknell possible from the Typhoid epidemic? Elizabeth Flint b: c1892 in Hucknell married James Mann from Dundee, Scotland. It appears that possibly both Elizabeths parents died when she was young (not sure). If anyone can help with further information or clarification this would be great as I live in Australia and it's difficult to get info. |

replied on: 2/14/2007 12:32:06 AM Prudence's full name was Eliza Prudence Evans -she lived on Bridge Street Langley Mill -where my grandmother was born. most of Langley mill is in Derbyshire, but the postal address is Notts-for census purposes it comes under Heanor district. I think Thomas Flint's Grandparents were Francis and Mary -I have some notes on this family which I will have to dig out! |

replied on: 2/14/2007 12:52:57 AM Do you require any of Prudence's history -or do you have that? Also, are you guessing that Thomas died from the typhoid epidemic? Do you have his death certificate? If you are unsure -with him being a collier, he could have had an accident at the colliery? All guess work, but it's best to have an idea what to look for in old newspapers. |

replied on: 2/14/2007 1:41:25 AM (Eliza)Prudence's father(John) was a Welshman, who married Elizabeth -a Derbyshire girl. They had at least 10 children (including a set of twins) John was a Collier. Quite a lot of Welsh Miners came to work in the Coal mines in notts/Derbys. I'll dig out my files and will hopefully have more information to post tomorrow. I have Flint information from some research I did for a friend - her line was from a brother of Thomas . The Evans information I have is from research in progress of the inhabitants of Bridge St Langley Mill 1880-1900 |

replied on: 2/14/2007 12:04:30 PM Hi Sue I've tried to contact you via both e-mail and mailbox without success.I have not done any research into my Grandfathers family yet,but Grandad Towle married a Sarah Ann Flint who was born in 1875, died in April 1941. He later married Sarah's sister Lottie Flint in the 50's. Grandma Towle was interred at Aldercar St Johns Cemetery on April 5th 1941.Grandad was one of the founder members of the Central Methodist Chapel on Cromford Road, before this they had a meeting place somewhere at the bottom of Bridge Street.He eventually went to live in Thompson Street but I Don't know where they lived before. Could these "Flints" be any relation or in any way connected?. Regards PAULR |

replied on: 2/14/2007 1:28:20 PM Didn't get your e mail, just picked up your mailbox. Haven't found a connection between your Flints and these-but there may be one way back. Lottie and Sarah were the daughters of Moses and Elizabeth Flint -they lived on Cromford Rd Langley Mill at one time-before that at Lee Lane Langley. I know some Flints from Langley (both almost 90 years old)-and the Flint family have always been very strong "Chapel" people. So the Cromford Road connection would fit with the founding of the Methodist Chapel on Cromford Rd (now a light fitting outlet!!)Thre were 2 methodist chapels on Cromford Rd -the one just mentioned and then the Primitive Methodist (known as the "Prims"-now a car tyre place) Be interesting to find where they met near Bridge St-must investigate that. Possibly the Flints and the Towles were Methodists -perhaps that's how your grandparents met. When Sarah Ann Flint and William Towle married they lived at 21 Cromford Rd -Sarah's parents lived at no 23! (the numbering has been changed since then-but I can possibly work out where no 21 was in relation to the Durham Ox. Will have alook in my "Pandora's box" -to see what I can find. Check your mail Box The Towles are in my Bridge St file -William lived there(no 32) with parents and siblings before marriage!-they moved to bridge St from lee lane langley!!!! |

replied on: 2/14/2007 9:25:25 PM I was, vaguely, aware that there had been some form of Christian meeting place off Bridge Street. I have assumed it to have been in the building to the rear of Dunn's Terrace (which included Bill Phillips cycle shop in later years), which can be accessed from Bridge Street. I am sure I have seen a reference somewhere to that being the location, but cannot find it. What I have found, though, is a reference to the forerunners of the Primitive Methodists. In Sir William Smith's History of Langley Mill (1911), he states, "Whether the building of the Primitive Church came first – after years of endeavour to gather a congregation by services held in a chamber over 'Than' Hunt’s stable – or whether the United Methodist Church came first, I don’t know." One of the buildings behind Dunn Terrace could easily have been a stable. |

replied on: 2/14/2007 11:28:27 PM PaulRs Grandfather wasn't born until 1874 -so wonder if it was his great grandfather who was a founder member of the central Methodist? Dunn Terrace and Hunts stable kind of connects. The house/shop on Cromford Road which Dunn terrace is at the back of is called Dunn House-keep trying to remember to note the date every time I pass. There were stable like buildings at the back in the 60's where Billy Phillips used to breed German Shepherds. The Hunt family lived at the bottom of Bridge Street and Dunn terrace at one time and some of their sons became farmers and horsekeepers -they married into the Dunn family who lived on Woodlinkin!! So there is a Hunt/Dunn connection. Wonder if "Than" Hunt was an abbreviation of nathaniel Hunt-as Nathanial Hunt lived at the bottom of Bridge St -he married his brother Roberts widow (her burial record reads "wife of Robert, but died with nathaniel!"All I have to do now is find if they were Methodists!! Good info Robert and Jenny P.s. for PaulR -hope you don't mind am starting a topic on Towle for you -then we won't get muddled with the Flints. |

replied on: 2/15/2007 9:45:37 AM Maybe they changed the names - the Chapel (lighting shop) bottom of Gladstone St was known as the Central methodist from (at least) 1940's)and the chapel at the bottom of Argyle St was known as "The Prims" from (at least) 1920's - but then you know what Langley Mill folk are like for giving nicknames to places!!!--the latter had closed by abt 1950 and for a few years was inhabited by a tramp -it was demolished early 60's and a new building erected for Kettering Tyres. There is a topic Central methodist on Churches/Chapels section -its the chapel you attended for a while, Robert!!! Robert, ask Roger Hull - I'm sure he will know! |

replied on: 2/15/2007 7:53:10 PM Robert -the stone name built into the house which I thought was Dunn House, actually states Dunn Terrace 1876- which figures, as although on Cromford Rd it would be the first house of the terrace-which was /is on Bridge St, but set further back than the bridge St Houses. |

replied on: 2/15/2007 10:52:44 PM Having checked with Roger, he can only assume that the map is wrong. The Central Methodists were at the bottom of Gladstone Street. When the chapel closed, the congegration joined the Wesleyans. The chapel at the bottom of Argyle Street was the Free Methodists, otherwise known as the Prims. Of the two chapels, this was the first to close. |
