John Flew born about 1749 published by on Sun, 19/02/2017 - 23:22
Took me 10 years to find his burial.
Burial John FLEW 4 Mar 1826 Congresbury Age 77.
Ancestry transcribed it as FLEN, and the image looks like a Bishops Transcript.
The column for abode states what looks like "Callinghill in this parish"
The burial is not on Grahams list.
So he was married twice and died in Congresbury, seems logical that he was born there, but I cant find a baptism for him in or around the year 1749.
I have also tried Yatton and Wrington.
I've tried to find the image of this burial on Ancestry but with no success - the images of burials at Congresbury appear to be the same as the ones transcribed on our site. Has anyone else found it? Can you say where it is? I'm also foxed by the abode of "Callinghill" - the only place I can think of is Cadbury Hill - if we could see the image we might be able work that one out.
It doesn't follow that because he was married and died in Congresbury that he was born there - where did his wife come from?
A friend has looked at the image and it is Cadbury Hill.
On Ancestry it is transcribed as John FLEN and looking at the image again, the year is 1820 and not 1826. It is Page Number 16, Item 126. Image gives his age at death as 77 years
I have found his 2nd wife`s baptism Jane WHITE 3rd Oct 1756 Congresbury
His first wife was Mary FRY, but not found her baptism yet.
