Thanks Fatman, sounds like it's going to be an uphill strugle!
I've found out that the Flensburg records are on microfilm in Denmark - Bit of a funny one as before 1864 Flensburg was Danish, then the germans pinched a rather large chunk of Denmark. In 1920 there was a plebocite and about half of the land became Danish again - unfortunately Flensburg is just south of the border.
There are other previously Danish towns available as well, but as they're now German, the records are under the German rules - which like you say you have to prove you're a relative. Which means I'd probably have to persuade my husband to apply - the nearest place these documents are available is about an hour away.
I've tried LDS, but not with parish - I'll have another go! Thanks Mark.

Logic merely enables one to be wrong with authority.
