Offspring - Henry (23), James (19), Harriet, John (6), Frank (2) and Louise

And in the next tent along (on the next page) is another Henry Bird (23, born Worth, Sussex) and his family (wife Mary Ann 24, born Maidstone, son George 6 also born Maidstone, dau Sarah A 4 bn Chatham, and dau Elizabeth 7 mnths bn Brenchley)
