  • Notes 
    • Biograph - I was born into a loving and closely knit family at Middleton By Wirksworth in 1942.. My father Harry Sprake Flint was born in 1894 son of William and Guenillian Flint nee Sprake Guenillian born at Blaenafon South Wales to Edwin and Leah Anne Sprake nee Williams Edwin was Manager at Blaenafon Iron and Steel Works he also owner of a small brewery.. he born of Huguenot origin..That is my first reason for researching my family as although Dad told me a little of his Welsh family history which was sparse I was intrigued by this family and wanted to trace back as far as I could.. (Here I have to thank Rt Rev Hackett born at Blaenafon Bishop of Glamorgan and Mr Roynon of South Wales who searched the Monmouth and Glamorgan Parish Registers and the Census giving me invaluable help.. Rt Rev Hacketts wife having also givern me information as at Ecumenical Meetings she attended on enquiring about my family was told that my father's cousin Ethel Reece nee Sprake the wife of The Rev Reece a Baptist Minister who lived at The Manse Mamihalad near Blaernafon had taught members of the committee whom Mrs Hackett was meeting with.. In 1964 a year after my father died I visited Ethel at Mamhiland who was then nearing her 70s..Ethels sister Blodwen 's Grandaughter today lives near my sister in West Yorkshire.. All the Rt Rev Hackett and Mr Roynon charged me for their efforts was a donation to the charity of my choice which was Cancer Research Campaign now known as Cancer Research UK , my father having had skin cancer as did others of my kin.. I was a Committee Member on the Matlock & District Branch of Cancer Research Campaign and have with my family fund raised by organising concerts at Matlock and Wirksworth area over the years. My Mother was born in 1916 to John and Annie Walker nee Cauldwell Grandfather Walker being the son of Joseph and Martha Walker nee Sheldon of Bolehill and Middleton, Martha , Joseph Walkers 3rd wife his 1st wife Anne Wright being my blood kin as her 3XGrandfather Robert Frost was my 6XGrandfather whilst her 4XGrandfather William Wheatcroft was my 7XGrandfather..Josephs 2nd wife was Margaret Fletcher of Wrockwardine Wood Shropshire by whom he had most of his children Gr Gr Grandsons living in the Wirksworth and Holloway area today.. Here is another reason why I felt the need to find out how my family was knitted together as Anne Wrights family were kin of the Alsop and Wass family of Lea and Holloway whilst via Frost and Wheatcrofts way back in the 1650s - 1700s my research has sprung many surprises.
