Violet Williamson Stanton (nee Bird)

[cazzanne]

Could anyone shed any light on the Bird family from Ashwell.  Violet was my grandmother but died when mum was very young.  I haven't been able to find anything about the family but I know my great grandmothers name was Martha Carver, married to John Bird.

Any information especially photo's will be gratefully received.
