That was the first thing I noticed too Nicky. That's why I thought I'd ask opinions, to see if others thought the same :) Glad I'm not alone!

Looking at the match at Holbeach in 1851, this George does have a father named Edward. George does go on to name one of his children Edward.. obv not conclusive but does add to the whole picture. What do you think?

Georgina, I don't know yet. That's my next problem lol I can't find either Ann of right age in Holbeach in 1861.

Tracy this is the most likely marriage but which Ann? Marriages Dec 1862 Bird George Holbeach 7a 725 Caley William Holbeach 7a 725 Robinson Ann Holbeach 7a 725 Wattey Ann Holbeach 7a 725 Georgina.

Sorry - my mistake - have updated the info! :-)

Suzanne - I'm 100% positive of George from 1871 onwards. It's just the before part I'm having trouble with :) Thanks Nicky.

How sure are you of the one found in 1871? Suzanne

Yes Reg, that's the one. I've got him in 1841 too, but no way to know if he's mine lol

Can you find a birth registration for one of his children ? The wife´s name on this would help to find the marriage certificate, which in turn would give his father´s name

Is this by chance the same one in 1851? Edward Bird abt 1803 Opton, Norfolk, England Head Holbeach Lincolnshire View Record Elizabeth Bird abt 1845 South Lopham, Norfolk, England Daughter Holbeach Lincolnshire View Record George Bird abt 1834 South Lopham, Norfolk, England Son Holbeach Lincolnshire View Record Martha Bird abt 1849 Holbeach, Lincolnshire, England Daughter Holbeach Lincolnshire View Record Mary Ann Bird abt 1837 South Lopham, Norfolk, England Daughter Holbeach Lincolnshire View Record Robert Bird abt 1839 South Lopham, Norfolk, England Son Holbeach Lincolnshire View Record Susannah Bird abt 1810 New Buckingham, Norfolk, England Wife Holbeach Lincolnshire Reg

In all the later censuses, he gives his birth place as Holbeach, which is where his wife and first child were born. Her name was Annie.

Have you found him in later census'? Maybe it would give alead on his birth place and year and give more to go on? What was the name of his wife? Nicky.x.

In 1871, I have George Bird, born c1837 in Lincolnshire, an Iron Miner. He's living in Guisborough with his wife and children. I have found a possible marriage for them in 1862, in Holbeach. I can't find George before 1871. However, I have just come across a George Bird (transcribed as Bend!), born in Norfolk, living in Holbeach in 1861. He is an Ag Lab. Do you think it could be my George?
