Festus Flynn : Short Biography

Festus (Festy)Flynn was born in 1841 Co.Galway in Glinsk/Kilbegnet parish which I believe also covers Co. Roscommon. Sadly Festy's mother (Maria Conway)-1818-died at childbirth and his father James Flynn (a Tailor)-1815 - remarried Bridget (Biddy) Walsh -1817.  Festy was brought up by his step mother, and in the 1851 Census extract is shown with his step siblings, Bridget Jr (1844)-John (1848) - & Maria (1851).  I connect through Bridget Jr my Great paternal Grandmother. James being my Great x 2 Grandfather.

The family emigrated to the UK  sometime after 1851 and  settled in Birmingham. BUT FESTY WAS NOT WITH THEM.   I had been unable to find out what happened to him until I came across the death of a Festus Flynn in the Roscommon Workhouse in 1865 aged 21. If he is the Festy I seek that age is out by about 3 years as he would have been about 24.   I have been unable to establish any other record for Festy be it death or emigration and no reason why he did not join his father, step mother and step siblings.   I know of no means of checking on the Festus Flynn aged 24 who died in the Roscommon Workhouse to see if he one and the same as the one I seek, and would appreciate if anyone else can help in this respect.
