Thanks Dave, Daniel married Jemima in 1862 so the Chales born 1864 fits ok.

Thanks for comfirming the Albert Jennings saga, I at first was going to take that with a pich of salt thinking the vicar had put that name on the wrong certificate, I also then wondered could he have died say in 1890/1891 before perhaps they were due to tie the knot.

Would in those days Albert be still accountable for paying towards his keep and hence thats why he was named on the marriage cert. I have found no trace of that as of yet.

The question is then also is why when Grace married Arthur Rotherham in 1894 did she not name her father, surely she would have known but I am sure the death of Daniel in 1890 in Biggleswade is the correct one so did something serious happen, was Daniel upto no good ie did he run off with another woman and hence Jemima wanted nothing to do with him anymore. Gosh this genealogy stuff certainly keeps the brain cells charged especially for us oldies.

Think the Biggleswade death is wrong, there is a death in 1883 of a daniel Flint aged 40, (people have no idea really of ages have they) and there is a burial on this site saying he died in the canal but was a Horn Setter, what is that please? The daniel I am interested in was a file -------- are these trades similar ie could this be the Daniel I am interested in?

John, you have FMP, the answers to all your questions about Daniel Flint are there. It is not difficult.

Grace was only 16 when she gave birth. Therefore the authorities would not get involved. The financial responsibility lay with her parents (in this case her mother). If Albert Jennings denied it (clearly he did) then nothing could be done to make him pay..
