Jan i only saw Buckingham b. 1847/8 bp. that you posted sorry   i must have missed the other one however i found him in 1841 now anyhow with what seems to be his mother ELizabeth although Buckingham is listed first persumably as the oldest male in the house

you don't mention any Birds names

[cathayb]

i do 



and although they dont know a great deal between us we may find out a lot more.
I have been given a lot of info by one of the great great great grandaughters of Sarah and jeremiah of which I am sifting through.
Athelia's  (b 1903) grandson who is from another well documented gypsy family called Bird.
But looking at his website it may well be another Bird group of families.
