Thanks for the info, done some searching, and think I might have found something but not certain. There is a John Birks born Nov 1777 in Ashover, father is Abraham c1755 and Elizabeth Blanksby, they married in 1771. They had 3 girls Grace 1783, Anne 1790, Mary 1786 and 4 boys Joseph 1788, John 1777, George 1780 and Abraham 1775. Still no other info on John and Ann, but this John having a brother George and (George 1814 ) named his sons with biblical names so thinking could be a connection. Would appreciate some feedback as to weather i'm just clutching at straws, or could be on to something thanks.
