Siobhan,
Noticed that some time ago you were looking for information regarding James Bird. You may see from my surname I too am a Bird.
James, married to Rosina, is my great grandfather. As far as I know he had three two siblings, William Bird and Lucy Bird.
James and Rosina had two children, James Thomas Bird and Charles Henry Bird(Ramsgate). Charles Henry was a part time musician, and married Marjorie Turner in Ramsgate. They had two children, Keith and Neil.
Keith was a full time musician and married a dancer. They had two children, one is me, the other Charles Henry Bird. I have two children Bretton and Eleanor, Eleanor is married to Latif LaChab and has a daughter Amal. Bretton is still at home, just.
James Thomas Bird, aka Bretton Byrd, was also a musician(see wikipedia) married first Iris and had a daughter Joyce and second marriage Joan. I never knew his first wife, nor that he had a child until very recently, Neil told me.
Neil married Ruby and they had no children. Lucy married Fred Challis and I think had three children. The two I know of were Ethel and Fred. Ethel I believe has two children Doug and Harry. That is all I know about my family.
So, how are we related?
Best Ron
