About Flinders - Nottinghamshire & beyond
Details of those included on the 1939 Register for England and Wales, taken in September of that year in preparation for WW2, are included if they were born pre 1924. Those born 1924 and later have their details redacted on the 1939 Register unless they are known to have died subsequently. 

At   www.flinders.nz.   is to be found other general  Flinders information, including census entries 1841 - 1921 England,  Wales, Scotland plus the 1939 register for England and Wales.   Census data for Canada to 1931, and 1860 - 1950 for the USA.

See the names index below this introduction message. If you make any changes you MUST advise  site administrator Keith Flinders otherwise they will be lost next time the site is updated. PLEASE make sure that you add names to any images you upload.

The database includes records for families collected from various parish registers, census  returns, civil indexes, as well as family submitted data. The information has been compiled as  a guide only, so that others may find such records then ensure that the relationships recorded  here are totally accurate. Corrections, comments, as well as additions,are always welcome.

County borders and county names in England and Wales are those before the 1974 changes, and have not been changed to reflect the present names.
       
Included are descendants of the Flinders family who were in the Carlton and Gedling areas  of Nottinghamshire from the early 1500s, perhaps earlier. Gedling parish records start in  the mid 1550s. Also detailed are Flinders and related families who moved to other areas  of England, plus those who emigrated to Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Southern Africa,  USA and elsewhere.  The family of Capt. Matthew Flinders RN 1774 - 1814 is included, but  there is some doubt as to if his great, great, great grandparents are actually those recorded  here. His forebear John, and John's father, also John, went to Donington, Lincolnshire circa  1699. According to Capt. Matthew they were from Ruddington (south of Nottingham)and indeed a  few Flinders records are to be found there, but this family became Quakers so records for that  period are unlikely to be found. Further research needed.

Note: Many references for people in England from July 1837 have been taken from General  Register Office indexes, hence many dates are registration quarters, and some place names  are those of registration districts. Often only the purchase of certificates will provide  the correct information where census information is not also available.
