Hi Siobhan
This looks as if it could be Rosina:
1891
Rosina PARSONS servant unm 26 nurse b.St Albans living at 29 Wellington Crescent, Ramsgate as a servant to Ann LAKEMAN lodging house keeper.
Rg12/730 folio 98 page 32
And a possible marriage:

This is the most likely family I could find in 1881/1871 census but I can't be certain ............. you will probably need to purchase a certificate or two ie. James/Rosina marriage to confirm/disprove:

Siobhan,
Noticed that some time ago you were looking for information regarding James Bird. You may see from my surname I too am a Bird.
James, married to Rosina, is my great grandfather. As far as I know he had three two siblings, William Bird and Lucy Bird.
James and Rosina had two children, James Thomas Bird and Charles Henry Bird(Ramsgate). Charles Henry was a part time musician, and married Marjorie Turner in Ramsgate. They had two children, Keith and Neil.
Keith was a full time musician and married a dancer. They had two children, one is me, the other Charles Henry Bird. I have two children Bretton and Eleanor, Eleanor is married to Latif LaChab and has a daughter Amal. Bretton is still at home, just.
James Thomas Bird, aka Bretton Byrd, was also a musician(see wikipedia) married first Iris and had a daughter Joyce and second marriage Joan. I never knew his first wife, nor that he had a child until very recently, Neil told me.
Neil married Ruby and they had no children. Lucy married Fred Challis and I think had three children. The two I know of were Ethel and Fred. Ethel I believe has two children Doug and Harry. That is all I know about my family.
So, how are we related?
Best Ron

Welcome to Rootschat Ron,
Siobhan has not been on Rootschat since 2007 so may not get notification of your query if she is still around and/or has changed her email address.
Is there anything we can help you with on here?
