I'm looking for the family of Henry and Mary Bird. Henry Bird and Mary Rickhow were married on November 19, 1840 in Susquehanna County. They were both residents of Great Bend, PA. By 1850 they had 3 children: Jane Ellen (b.ca. 1844), Julia (b.ca.1845) and Charles A. (b.ca.1848). The last trace of them I can find is from a land transaction in Great Bend in 1856. Where did they go after this date? Any clues, no matter how tangential, would be appreciated. Thanks.

Aloha from Kauai! It was another beautiful day here in Paradise, but you know we are lacking in genealogy resources out here in the middle of the Pacific. Can someone help, please? Does anyone have a record of a Richard Bird marrying a Jane _____(perhaps Noble) in New Jersey around 1808? He was born around 1780-2 in PA. Jane was born in NJ around 1790. By 1809 they were living outside of Cincinatti, OH. Children's names include: Andrew, Sarah, Asa Noble, Martha, Catherine Ann (Kitt Ann), and Jane. Mahalo for your kokua. Ed Stumpf

Hi, I am looking for descendants or anyone who has information on James BIRD who married Mary TAYLOR probably in the Coventry area. They had at least 2 sons. George BIRD was born 1844 and joined the navy. In 1881 he left the navy and later emigrated to Australia. The other son was Harry. He was a watchmaker and J.P. He was knighted but I don't know what for. At one time he lived in Chingford, Essex, which is now part of London I believe. Do you think there may be a link between our families? I am willing to share any information you may find helpful. Best Wishes Wendy

My Birds are elusive - can't trace them back positively any further than the 1900 census - Lonoke Co., AR. 1-Wm H. Bird (b. 1836, AR - d. aft 1910, Lonoke Co.

Dooley (b. abt 1928, OK - d. 1987, OK) There is a Wm H Bird in the 1880 St. Francis Co. AR Census of about the same age with a different wife and set of children. This could be an earlier marriage of the same Wm H., but it's speculation. 1. Wm H (ca. 1836/37) ?sp: Mary Ann ____(b. abt 1848, AR - d.???) 2-W.H.(A?)

Thanks, Sandy

Fred Bird married my Gr Aunt, Myra Sutherland, b 1882, N.S. He was a Sociology Professor, Columbia University; she was a registered nurse. I believe they were married in Teheran, Iran (Persia) where he taught at American(?) University. Their only child, Jean Bird, was born there in 1917. They returned to U.S. soon after birth of Jean. Sometime later Fred & Myra were divorced. I understand, Fred continued his Professorship at Columbia. I was hoping that someone may have known Fred; maybe he remarried and had another family who may know about his daughter, Jean Bird who may still be alive. Jean Bird married a Mark Abrams and they lived in London, I've been told. They had a daughter, Sarah Abrams, b 1946. Any help? Thanks, dana
