In the oxford dictionary of surnames it says that the surname Bird is found in South Norfolk. This is true for my family that are located in Wormegay/Marham in the 1690's. I have looked at the 1714 Poll Tax and found the name mention in six hundreds with three being together on the South East Coast and the other three in the West; two in the North west and one in the South West. I am looking for information on the surname from Hearth tax records. I notice on google that there is a few hearth tax returns for Norfolk and also an exemption return. That the records are patchy with areas missing. Any information on the return areas or the surname Bird is appreciated. Karen

Hi Karen, I am related to Mary Nurse nee Bird of Wormegay. Will contact you later when I access my tree to see if there is a connection.
