Hi Val, thanks for your reply. I'm sure the families must be related somewhere as it was such a close community in those days. I'm off to Scotland for a week tomorrow so I haven't had time to do any more research, but when I get home I'll see if I can get any further back. I also have my cousin on the case now as she lives in Thurcroft, rather closer than myself in Bedford! I'll keep you posted if I find anything.

Hi my name is Hilary Ashley. My Grandfather was Henry Kirkby (1893 - 1977) who was born in Harthill, his Father was Mark Kirkby and his mother was Sarah. I know he had two brother's Harry and Mark, and two sisters Lily and Mary. They started Kirkby & Son's the coach builders who had a garage in Harthill. Later I think around the 1970's Harold Brady (cousin to my grandfather) took the garage in South Anston and my Uncle, Kenneth Kirkby, went to work for him. Do you know if Mark was related to the list of Kirkby's that you have? This is my first posting so hope it works!
