Birds and Beeston hall

[Ruskie]

I'm not sure which of the buildings is actually Beeston Hall. There are Beeston Hall Mews (up market real estate - try googling) plus other outbuildings. Unfortunately there's no street view on google maps but it looks rather nice from above.

Thank you both for your help.

I've managed to click on that site and see that William Bird had 58 perches
That fits in with the name on the 1841 census.

I'll be able to play around and see who the neighbours were too.

Just had to comment on the tithe website done by Chester records office, I've used it myself whilst researching the family tree and it was an absolute godsend for locating stuff, a big pat on the back to the people at Chester for setting it up.....

There's a death record for a John Bird n 1858 (Sep Q)
Nantwich volume 8a page 188

Perhaps this is Henry's older brother.

Thanks, yes that could be John's death and that would explain why
Henry was in charge of the farm.
