Hi Dave As the baptism entries in Wallasey St Hilary for Nehemiah (1737), John (1739), Phoebe (1742) and John (1744) all show parents as Henry & Elizabeth BIRD I don't believe the Henry who married Ann CHADDOCK in 1736 in West Kirby would have been the same Henry BIRD as married Elizabeth BRADBURN in 1734 in Wallasey? Two other possible candidates for this second marriage are the Henry baptised on 12 October 1690 in Wallasey, son of Henry & Margaret BIRD, and the Henry baptised on 5 June 1698 in Wallasey, son of William& Ellen BIRD? I have in my extended family tree a possible sibling of Ann CHADDOCK viz an Elizabeth CHADDOCK who married Daniel DELAMORE on 12 January 1738 in Bidston St Oswald. Daniel & Elizabeth's daughter Sarah DELAMORE (b1746) married Thomas BROSTER on 11 October 1769 in Upton-in-Overchurch St Mary. In the same church, some two years earlier (on 20 November 1767), Thomas' brother John BROSTER married my 4 x great-grand-aunt Martha EVANS (b1745 Puddington).
