Posted by Judith on 21/1/2025, 1:22 pm

Louisa Flinn was wife of Owen Flinn, a yeoman of signals R.N. She was born Launceston baptised there 29.12.1824 as Louisa Peggy Gandy daughter of William and Ann Potter. he was an attorneys clerk. described on her marriage cert as a solicitor.
1851 has her in Plymouth with her sister Sarah Potter, and then she is in Kent with baptism of daughter Sarah Mary Flinn b 17.7.1855, child died in Plymouth. She is in dispute with admiralty re Owen Flinn's will in 1856/7 so assume he died, at sea? Cant find her after that, would appreciate some help .

Probate was granted to Louisa Peggy Gandy FLINN in 1854 ADM 142/5, f. 61, so presumably Owen died on or before that date.
