Walter Flinn b. s 1800
Marriage Principal=Walter Flinn1 
Children
  • Catherine Flinn+ (c 1837 - ); Although we can't be positive that Walter Flinn and Anne Whelan are the parents of "our" Catherine, the time frame is correct and our Catherine named her second son, Walter.1
  • Walter Flinn3 (c 1839 - )
Note From another researcher: There are a lot of O'Reillys who show up as witnesses at Flynn weddings. John O'Reilly and Mary Whelan had children Patrick, Frances, William, Eliza, and John (and also Ellen who married William Collins). I wonder if Anne Whelan Flynn might have been a sister of Mary Whelan O'Reilly (so then the O'Reillys would have been first cousins of the Flynns). If so, then you would be related to Archbishop Roche since Mary Whelan O'Reilly was Archbishop Roche's great-grandmother. It's a bit of a long shot, and there's not really any way to prove it.
