Smith Bird
Posted 01 Jul 05 by Scott Andrew Bird. Filed in Bird or Byrd.
Ann Reynolds and a cousin are trying to find details on a Smith Bird, father of Fergus Bird who was born in Banbury, Oxford in 1849 or 1850. The information they hold so far :
- plenty of information on Fergus from the 1871 census onwards (he lived in Willenhall at all times after 1871)
- Fergus' marriage cert (1872) which states his father was Smith (deceased)
Unfortunately they are unable to find anything on Fergus previous to 1871 and nothing at all can be found on Smith. Does anyone have any information to add?
