I am looking for any info on William Birch, horsedealer, born abt. 1824 in Liverpool. May have had some tie up with the Grand National. William married Ellen Sergeant in 1846 & had at least 2 sons, Joseph, born 1848 & Charles. Joseph Birch was also a horsedealer. Charles Birch married Isabella Henderson Lawson in 1880 at Kirkdale then promptly skipped off to Kansas, USA where he also became a breeder of very fine horses. Joseph Birch had a daughter, Ellen, born 1874 in Liverpool, who was my husband's grandfather's first wife. Any info on this family would be most gratefully received. Sue Purcell
