Dear Susan,

It would help other listers to know what you have tried so far (what 'London
site' do you mean?).

With names like that you should have a good chance of finding something. I see
John found Jabez in the 1881 census. Have you tried other spellings? FLYNN,
FLYN, FLINN, FINN....RITCHEN, RITCHIE, RITCHING, RICHEN, RITCHEN....

Another tip, the US way of writing dates can cause confusion; as can any method
using numbers only. USA '7-21-1875' would be '21-7-1875' in the UK, to avoid
this confusion, use '21 Jul 1875'.

As you have their dates of birth, you can search for and order their birth
certificates, then you will have their parents' names.
Have a look at www.genuki.org.uk for information on UK research.
