You will note that Phoebe Birt, age two, was baptised, the illegitimate daughter of Robert Birt and M. Beck. If they had a son Joseph in 1826, there does not seem to be record of his baptism in Cambridge. Joseph and Susanna Birt appear to have had four children baptised at once.

Hi Thanks a million for your reply and time i have had a email of some one else and they gave me the 2 burials of Robert and Margarets children but not Phebe so thats a great plus, i found a marriage Robert Birt to Margaret Cave Beck 11 feb 1823 Chatteris on the igi so they married just after having Phebe i believe that Joseph who married Susanna could have been Roberts brother from info i have looked at thanks again for all your help best wishes wendy. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ken & Judy" <kenjudydear@worldnet.att.net> To: <ENG-CAMBRIDGESHIRE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, September 05, 2004 10:57 PM Subject: RE: [ENG-CAMB] ENG-CAM new subscriber researching BIRT/BURT > Found the following on the 1841 and 1851 census indexes.
