I am looking for information about the parents and family of Georgia Byrd. She was born 14 Feb 1855, married Thomas M Robertson 20Jan 1874 in MS, and died 30 Mar 1948. Her mother was named Elizabeth.

Martha Elizabeth Bird b) 1 Dec 1852, Mulberry, Crawford, AR, parents could have been Jim and Elizabeth (Taylor) Bird. Martha E. married first Joe Womack having daughter Esther, then William F. McLean in 1892. Martha and William both died at Spiro, LeFlore, OK. Any help appreciated.

After going through the census's and many obits, this is what I have put together on my Birds. Edward BIRD was born May 10, 1842 in Shropshire, England, and died January 8, 1920 in Saanich, British Columbia, Canada He married Mary Ann Abt. 1870 in Wolverhampton, England. She was born January 15, 1843 in Liverpool, England. Edward was a shoe maker by trade, in Victoria. In 1895 the BIRD Family arrived in Victoria, B.C., Canada Children of Edward BIRD and Mary Ann are: i. Douglas BIRD. Died in New York?? Either Douglas or George were supposed to have been a very good singer (Opera??) I seem to remember my grandparents saying he preformed in Chicago, but the obit of Edward BIRD says that both Douglas and George were in New York. ii. George BIRD. Died in New York?? iii. Gertrude Annie BIRD, born 1875. She married Ellis HALLSOR August 3, 1917 in Cedar Hill, British Columbia. Gertrude might not be part of this family, but the HALLSORs definitely are. iv. Harriet (Het) BIRD, born February 27, 1876 in Wolverhampton, England; died August 25, 1955 in Victoria, B.C.. She married George CHADWICK December 5, 1895 in Victoria, B.C.. v. Mary BIRD, born July 12, 1878 in Wolverhampton, Westmidlands, England; died August 27, 1970 in Victoria B.C.. She married Arthur Edward FORD 1905 in Washington, U.S.A. (?). vi. Elizabeth (Beth) BIRD, born December 10, 1880 in Wolverhampton, Westmidlands, England; died December 2, 1945 in Victoria, B.C.. She married (2) Henry Richard NICHOLSON April 3, 1913 in Vancouver, B.C.. vii. Georgina BIRD, born September 6, 1884 in Wolverhampton, Westmidlands, England. viii. Henry BIRD, born December 21, 1886 in Wolverhampton, Westmidlands, England; died April 16, 1938 in Saanich, British Columbia. If anybody has any information on this family, I would be very pleased to hear from you. At the present time I have no other information on the two brothers Douglas and George other than one of them had a very good voice and I thought preformed in Chicago. I would think that this would have been around the turn of the century. The only other name that I know is related to this family, but I don't know how is JENNINGS. Many Thanks! Michael Kaehn Victoria, B.C. Canada

David Newton Bird, b. 1858, Bond County IL. His parents were Justin T. Bird and Rebecca Irene Hunter. I have no further information on him except for the fact that his son Charlie was raised by his grandmother, Rebecca Irene Hunter Bird. I would appreciate any further information on David or Charlie.

Hi list, Has anyone ever heard of the Burrage surname being connected to the Bird name. My great great grandfather was a Burrage from Mississippi, but some of his children ended up going by the name Burge when they grew up. I have been told that the name was originally Bird or Byrd. However, they were going by the Burrage surname as early as 1870, so I am not sure at what point the name became or was Bird. Any info/ideas will be greatly appreciated. vr Darlene Researching names: Burrage, Burge, Neely, Cole, Love

--part1_8c0f0eb.243cdd15_boundary Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Fellow Byrd Researchers: I received the following pasted below from my Faulkner/Fortner cousin and was wondering if any of you could enlighten me (us) on this Byrd connection. He knows that I have been looking at Byrd/Filmers and we have Faulkner/Filmers of the same Filmer family in London England. Wm Byrd I of Westover married Maria Horsemanden, widow I think of either Robert or Edward Filmer, related to Elizabeth Filmer below (Glenda or whoever can correct me on the Wm Byrd/Filmer connection if I got it wrong.). I have a personal interest as well. I have worked more than 20 years with a many who was married to Westwood Byrd, granddaughter of Harry Flood Byrd below. He also has bought a new Byrd family book??? and said he would share it with me. FYI, if any of you live in or around the District of Columbia, the Westy/Westwood Byrd who is on the DC School Board is this person. We Faulkners not made the connection between our original immigrant and the Faulkner/Filmer below, but shall I say several are working very hard on it: 1. ???Maybe..This is what everyone is working on ...William Faulkner +Elizabeth Filmer married February 6, 1620, St. Benets, London (see: http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/p/a/r/Ken--Parker/index.html for more info).????? 2. John Faulkner ENG>Talbot/Queen Annes Md +Elizabeth______ 3. Francis Faulkner Talbot/Queen Annes MD +______________ 4. John Faulkner Talbot/Queen Annes, MD +Sarah Ford 5. Emanuel Falkner b. Talbot/Queen Annes>d. Iredell Co.NC +Elizabeth Dickerson/Dickinson 6. Sugar Fortner -- b. Warren Co. NC> d. Greene Co. TN +Priscilla Robinson 7. Jacob Fortner (Green Co. TN) +Elizabeth Chambers (Greene Co. TN) 8. Elizabeth Fortner b. Greene Co. TN, died Dade Co MO 1914 +Thomas Marshall b. & d.Greene Co MO 1860 9. Ruth Marshall + Joseph Alexander Sexton both b. Greene Co. and d. Dade. co MO 10. Charles Cebrin Sexton (Dade Co MO + Lucy Belle Marsh (Dade Co MO). Lucy was the daughter of Wm. Michael Marsh and Casselia Bird. Casselia was the daughter of Henry Byrd and Lucinda Choate. Henry Byrd was the son of John Byrd and Nancy Couts of Robertson/Sumner Co TN. 11. Marjorie Lee Sexton +Herbert Hill Baugh 12. Me.
