Chapter 2
John Flint (I), of Holbeach, Lincolnshire

John Flint (I), son of George and Elizabeth (Lee) Flint, of Holbeach (see Chapter 1), was b. between Dec. 1791 and Dec. 1792,^[1] d. (intestate) 11 Dec. 1826 at Holbeach, and was buried in the churchyard (where a tombstone survives). He m. (as her first husband) 27 Nov. 1811 in Holbeach parish church, by banns, Mary Hoite, b. ca. 1792-93 at Spalding, Lincolnshire,^[2] d. 17 May 1867 and buried beside her third husband in Holbeach Cemetery,^[3] having m. secondly (as his third wife) in 1831, John Harpham,^[4] and thirdly (as his second wife) in 1843, William Offley^[5]; in the record of her third marriage she is called a daughter of John Hoyle (sic). At the time of their marriage John Flint and his wife were both single and of Holbeach; he signed his name in the register but she made a mark instead. The witnesses were his brother-in-law Richard Hackworth, and the parish clerk. Their first child was born only seven months later.
     John Flint, who was a carpenter, died leaving no will, and no letters of administration on his estate were ever granted. We have not found Mary (Hoite) (Flint) Harpham in the 1841 census. However, Mary and her third husband, William Offley, a master tallow chandler, were living at an unspecified address on St. John’s Street in 1851 with her grandson William Warren and her first husband’s nephew, R. Henry Parsons, who were learning the chandler’s trade.^[6] He is listed as a tallow chandler of St. John Street in a directory of 1856.^[7] Mary appears as a widow of the same place in 1861, when she was running a boarding house; and her son John’s daughter Agnes was then living with her.^[8]
     Two of John Flint’s sons, George and Matthew, moved to Wisbech St. Peter, Cambridgeshire, at about the same time as his brothers, George and Matthew.
     Known issue:

1. George Flint, Jr., bapt. 4 June 1812 in Holbeach parish church, d. in early 1898 in the Wisbech registration district, his age at death being given as 86 years.^[9] He m. 25 June 1833 in Holbeach parish church, after publication of banns, Mary Ann Mayson, b. 1813, between April and November, at Gedney, Lincolnshire,^[10] d. 5 Nov. 1890 at Wisbech, of old age.^[11] At the time of their marriage both were single and of Holbeach; he signed his name in the register, but she made a mark instead. The witnesses were George Flint (his uncle^[12]) and Sarah Flint (apparently his sister), and John Walker (his father’s step-father, but signing only in his role as parish clerk). George Flint was a journeyman carpenter and joiner. Some time between Jan. 1836 and May 1838 he took his family to Wisbech, and took up an address on the North Brink, where he appears as a carpenter in the 1841 census.^[13] He is shown at an unspecified address on the North Brink in a directory published in 1851,^[14] and also in the 1851 census, in which he is called a carpenter and joiner.^[15] He appears at 35 North Brink in the 1861 and 1871 censuses^[16] and at 35 White Cross Place in that of 1881.^[17] In 1881 an otherwise unknown grandson, Harry Flint (b. 1874-75 at Huntingdon, co. Huntingdon), was living with him. In 1891 he is found as a visitor in the household of his daughter, Elizabeth (Flint) Wilson, at no. 1 Prospect Place, Wisbech; as his marital status is erroneously reported as “single” it is unclear whether his wife was then alive.^[18] So far as known, George Flint (unlike his younger brother Matthew and many of their relatives) remained a member of the Church of England all his life.

In 1871 he was living with his wife at 25 Prospect Place, Wisbech, and working as a blacksmith.^[27] They had removed to South Shields, Durham, by 1881, when they appear in the census at 2 Marshalls Quay, he being called a furnace-man in an iron foundry. They were still at Marshalls Quay (house number not stated) in 1891, when he is called an “engineer labourer.”^[28] No children appear with them in either year.

2. Sarah Flint, b. at Holbeach, bapt. 12 Sept. 1813 in Holbeach parish church, who as the widow Sarah Warren, aged 85 years, was buried 22 March 1899 in Holbeach churchyard. She m. 2 Dec. 1834 in Holbeach parish church, after publication of banns, Thomas Warren, b. probably in 1802 (aged 69 in 1871, 85 in 1888) at Emneth, Norfolk, living 1871 and probably 1875, but d. 17 Jan. 1888, aged 85 years, and buried in Holbeach churchyard. At the time of their marriage both were single and of Holbeach. Her husband signed his name in the register, but she made a mark instead. The witnesses were an Elizabeth Flint,^[33] a Joseph Palmer, and John Walker (her father’s step-father, but signing only in his role as parish clerk). Their first child was born only three months later. The baptismal records of his children call Thomas Warren a laborer. He is called an agricultural laborer in the 1841 census, in which they appear at Brad House Yard, Holbeach.^[34] In 1851 Thomas and his family were living at an unspecified address in Brewhouse Yard,^[35] and in 1861 at an unspecified address in Drake Lane.^[36] They were enumerated as Red Lion Square, Holbeach, in the 1871 census.^[37] The 1851 and 1871 censuses calls him an agricultural laborer, and that of 1861 simply a laborer; he is also called a laborer in the marriage record of his son Thomas (1865, 1875), which would seem to imply that he was then living. He was however deceased by 1881, when the widow Sarah Flint was enumerated at Smith’s Row, Holbeach, in the 1881 census; she was a lodger in the household of a Hannah Parsons, aged 32, who does not appear to have been any relation.^[38] Thomas Warren and Sarah (Flint) Warren are each designated as of Holbeach Union at their deaths in 1888 and 1899, respectively.
        Known issue:
   1. William Warren, b. at Holbeach, bapt. 6 Feb. 1835. In 1851 he was living at Holbeach with his maternal grandmother and her third husband, with whom he was learning the trade of a tallow chandler.
   2. Elizabeth Warren, b. 1836-37 (aged 4 in 1841) at Holbeach. She was living with her parents in 1851, when she was a dress-maker; but she had died or left their home by 1861, and nothing further is known of her.
   3. Sarah Warren, b. at Holbeach, bapt. 7 April 1839. She was living with her parents in 1851, when she was a student, and in 1861 she was a servant in the household of her mother’s cousin, Mary (Flint) Inkley, at Spalding, Lincolnshire
   4. Anne Warren, b. at Holbeach, bapt. 6 July 1840, d. shortly before 6 Aug. 1840, when she was buried in Holbeach churchyard.
   5. Thomas Warren, Jr., bapt. 26 June 1841, living 1891. In 1851 he was a student. In 1861 he was boarding in the house of a James R. Capp at an unspecified address on High Street, Holbeach, when he was a tobacco-pipe marker.^[39] He m. (1) 20 Feb. 1865 in Holbeach parish church,^[40] Harriett Smith, b. probably in 1843 (aged 21 in 1865, 28 in 1871), d. by 1875, daughter of the late William Smith, bricklayer. At the time of his first marriage in 1865 he and his wife were both single, and he was still a pipe-maker; she signed the register but he made a mark instead, and the witnesses were a Charles Hardy and a John Hardy. They were enumerated at Church Street, Holbeach in the 1871 census, in which Thomas is called a pipe maker.^[41] He m. (2) 25 March 1875 in Holbeach parish church, Susan (or Susanna) Martin, b. around 1853 (aged __ at marriage, aged 26 in 1881, 35 in 1891) at Werton, Lincolnshire (per 1881 census), living 1891, daughter of the late John Martin, laborer. Thomas Warren’s second wife was a servant at the time of their marriage, he was a groom, and they were both of Holbeach; both signed the register, and the witnesses were a Robert Black and a Jane Downs (?). She is called Susan in the marriage record but Susanna in the 1881 census, in which they were enumerated at Flint’s Court, Holbeach, and Thomas is called a laborer.^[42] They were enumerated at Fleet Street, Holbeach, in the 1891 census, in which Thomas is called an agricultural laborer.^[43] There are no children recorded for Thomas Warren at Holbeach by either of these marriages.
           It is possible that Thomas Warren married a third time, for a Thomas Warren, widower, aged 56, of East End, Holbeach, mail-cart driver (son of Thomas Warren, farm laborer), married 22 Feb. 1903 in the Wesleyan Chapel, Holbeach, Elizabeth Nicholls, spinster, aged 55, also of East End (daughter of William Nicholls, farm laborer). This record fits the present Thomas Warren in every respect other than that it would imply a birth-date of 1846-47 and would indicate a change of religion.^[44]
   6. Anne Warren, b. at Holbeach, bapt. 28 April 1843, d. by 1851.
   7. John Warren, b. at Holbeach, bapt. 24 Sept. 1844, d. shortly before 2 Oct. 1844, when he was buried in Holbeach churchyard.

3. Matthew Flint, b. at Holbeach, bapt. 5 Sept. 1815 in Holbeach parish church, d. 3 April 1884 at Wisbech, aged 68 years, of heart disease and syncope.^[45] We have not found Matthew Flint in the 1841 census of Lincolnshire. He went to Wisbech by 1846, possibly at the same time as his elder brother George. He m. 13 April 1846 at Providence Chapel (Primitive Methodist), Wisbech, Hannah Hicks, b. between March 1820 and March 1821 at Leverington, Cambridgeshire, d. 5 Jan. 1905 at Wisbech, aged 84 years, daughter of the late James Hicks, laborer. Matthew Flint was a shoemaker and his wife a dressmaker at the time of their marriage; by 1859 he was a journeyman shoemaker and in 1861 he is called a cordwainer (i.e. leather-worker). They lived at an unspecified address on Agenoria Street (1851), and later at 3 Agenoria Street (1861-81).^[46] The widow Hannah Flint was enumerated at no. 3 Agenoria Street in the censuses of 1891 and 1901, when in each case the only one of her children still living with her was the youngest, Walter.^[47]
        Known issue:

As James Matthew Flint, butcher, aged 24, born at Wisbech, unmarried, he is found as a servant in the household of William Filmer, of 39 Red Lion Street, St. Andrew Holborn, Finsbury, London, in the 1871 census.^[48] By the time of his marriage in 1877 he had returned to Wisbech, and was a master butcher. He m. 25 Jan. 1877 in the parish church of SS. Peter and Paul, Wisbech, Martha Bown, b. between June 1845 and Feb. 1846, bapt. 3 Feb. 1846 in St. Peter’s, Wisbech, d. 12 June 1893 at Wisbech, of a malignant abdominal tumor, from which she had suffered for four years,^[49] youngest daughter of Capt. William Bown, of Wisbech, by his wife Hannah Farrow.^[50] Their first child was born only one month after their marriage. They were living at nos. 34 & 35 Norfolk Street East in 1881, when their household included a “sister-in-law” Elizabeth B. Flint, aged 44, thus b. ca. 1837), born at Wisbech, a butcher’s assistant; surely she was really Elizabeth Bown, not Flint.^[51] They were again enumerated at nos. 34 & 35 Norfolk Street East in 1891, when James is called a butcher and his wife a grocer; their household at that time included a domestic servant.^[52]

The witnesses were a John Gunthorpe and a Millicent Cane or Cave. He is called a journeyman joiner in 1851, by which year he was the only person named Flint left in Holbeach who was the head of a household.^[62] He and his family were living at an unspecified address on St. John’s Street in 1852 and 1861.^[63] They were enumerated at Mareham Road, Horncastle, next door to the millhouse, in the 1871 census, in which John is called a “for[e]man joiner.”^[64] Neither John Flint nor his wife have been found in the LDS transcription of the 1881 census.
