birth index
name; elsie birks
y.o.r. 1917
qtr; jan/feb/mar
dist; bury

there is this death that could be her (if it is then she did not marry)
name; elsie birks
y.o.r. 1997
mnth; june
dist; bury
reg no; c50b
entry no; 140
birthdate; 3/12/1916(so the birth regd in jan qtr 1917 could be her)
age at death; 80
cattell,alcester

the son fred birks was born in 1892
there is this death that fits perfectly
death index
name; fred birks
y.o.r. 1967
qtr; apr/may/jun
dist; manchester
vol; 10e
page; 284
age at death; 75
est birth year; 1892

taking a leap of faith there is a marriage in chorlton in jan/feb/mar qtr 1915 in chorlton between a florence makin and fred birks
there is a death in 1936 in manchester south of a florence birks aged 42 so born 1894

so we can ignore this marriage and death of fred
as willie bat has found that fred and harry birks in fact died during the 1st world war
will carry on going back with george and dorothy birks
