I think her parents are Henry Coulson b. 1805 Hornby, Linc and Martha ? b.1805 Claxby, Linc. This implies that her siblings include Mary b.1827, George b.1837,Linc, Henry b.1839 Sheffield,Ykshire and William b.1843 Barton, Linc. I know that she married in 1862 to Henry Hird b.1843 Wadingham. Only child (that I know) - Martha b.1862 Grimsby, Linc. Martha worked as a teacher and was unmarried in 1901 (living Gt Grimsby, Linc with Henry) In 1871, Martha was visiting Claxby, Linc. Staying with Frederick Shepherd (b.1805 Claxby), Mary Shepherd (b.1808 Linc) and their son George (b.1845 Claxby). I assume these are relations to Elizabeth but unsure how. Elizabeth died in 1890 4Q Vol 7a/392 Caistor, Linc. I'm interested in finding any descendants of Elizabeth and Henry Hird. I have lots of Hird info to share and would love to find some missing cousins. Any help greatly appreciated. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
