This site is the result of a project initiated in 1993 to record, index and compile a database for those born with the Flinders surname, and the people who they married. Compiled databases are accessible to those who have been issued with the passwords. Contact details are at the bottom of this page for those wishing to get in touch with the author.
The databases contain details of birth, baptism, marriage, death and burial records from 1480 up until quite recent times. Information has been collected from England, Scotland, Wales, France, Canada, United States of America, India, Australia, New Zealand and southern Africa. Additional information and corrections are always welcome.
Census records have been recently updated, thanks to Terry Flinders and Colin Notman

Included here are descendants of William Flinders born circa 1520 at Gedling. Not all Flinders people in this database link back to a common ancestor. Descendants of William Flinders born circa 1725 at Carlton, and his wife Dinah (nee Towl), are also recorded here. The younger William was likely descended from the above William Flinders, but no record of his birth or baptism has been found. Over 11,000 names are incvluded in this database.
This database includes two Flinders families who are seemingly not related, except through the marriage of Jack Flinders and Gladys Stubbs in 1939. Family 1 (Jack's) includes the descendants of John Flinders born circa 1685 and his wife Dinah nee Ceson. They lived in the Heanor and Ilkeston areas. Family 2 (Gladys') includes the descendants of Joseph Flinders born circa 1720 and his wife Ann whose maiden surname may have been Barber. They lived in Castleton and Hope areas of north Derbyshire.

Here you will find descendants of Thomas Flinders born circa 1650 and his wife Ellen nee Grey. They married in Bedfordshire, descendants having migrated to Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, USA and Australia. Apply for access at the web site.
