Bird Family Tree
« on: Friday 30 April 10 09:23 BST (UK) »
Can someone please let me know what happened to the Bird Family Tree that was on the web at http://www.birdfamilytree.co.uk/

It was a very useful site but now responds with "broken link".

Regards
francoso

The site is still registered to the owner so perhaps it is a hosting issue.

I also have Bird ancestors, descended from Joseph Bird born in Ipswich about 1805, a shoemaker. I am no further back than that at the moment.

I have no idea about the website; this is the first I've heard of it.

Looks like your Joseph was actually baptised in Westerfield.

John Bird (bc.1770, bur.8/12/1848 St. Helen, Ipswich), a carpenter,  married Sarah Hollonton?? (some online trees state should read Alderton) bc.1776 Bredfield, Suffolk, bur.3/9/1858 St. Helen, Ipswich) on 1/9/1801 St. Margaret, Ipswich.

Although they may have actually been born in Ipswich 5 children appear to have been baptised at Westerfield:

Samuel bp.3/8/1802
Joseph bp.5/3/1804
Elizabeth 1806
James 1808
Maria 1810
then
Rachel bp.25/4/1813 St. Helen, Ipswich
Robert bc.1816 Ipswich
William bc.1818 Ipswich

So John and Sarah marry Ipswich 1801, 5 children baptised at Westerfield (just a skip and a hop away) and from 1813 lived until their deaths in St. Helen, Ipswich, as did Joseph Bird.

As you are probably aware, online coverage for Ipswich and certain other parts of Suffolk (including Westerfield) in this timeframe are pretty non-existent so a check would need to be made through copies held in the Suffolk Record Office to confirm.

Thanks Annette  :) very much! I shall check that out at the SRO next time I get there. This is not a line I have been concentrating on but perhaps I should give it more attention now :).

I agree that online record sources for Suffolk are poor.

I was the owner of that website.
I was really busy with other things at the time and meant to move to a different host. I never got round to completing that task.

I had no idea it was so popular. :)

Hi Nukefusion

Will you be putting back on sometime soon?  It was a really good site, full of information and so helpful.  Thanks

I think the domain expired and I don't know if I even have the source code now.
I'll take a look and see what I can do.
