Hello Listers, I am new to the list, though not new to family history research. I am currently researching a BIRCH family from Garforth and surrounding areas such as Barwick in Elmet, and Swillington. My current tree starts with a Thomas Birch born in Arncliffe in 1820. One of his sons George Birch, born 1849 in Parlington, near Garforth married my ggggrandmother Alice Ellen Smith, though not before she had produced my Gggrandfather Edward Smith. They produced 11 Birch children in and around the Garforth area and were a well known couple in the town - he being a coal miner and game keeper at nearby Barrowby Hall. When they celebrated their Golden wedding in 1921 a series of photographs were taking showing different groupings of the family members and it has been fun contacting the surviving relatives and fitting together which person was which in the photo. I'd be very interested to hear from any other Birch descendents who might have further copies of this series of photographs and perhaps know about some of the other lines that descend from the family, or from anyone else researching either George's descendents or other descendents of Thomas and Sarah (nee Goodhall) who were his parents.
