Hi again - the weather is getting a bit chilly at this end so time to do more work on the Family Tree.
Question: I have info that a Mary Carver married James Bird on 3/6/1811 in Wrestlingworth, Beds. I don't have a birth date or parents name for Mary; but James Bird b/d 6/6/1790 in Cockayne Hatley, Beds. What are the chances that this Mary Carver is the daughter of John (1759) & Elizabeth Merrington, and sister to George and Young Carver??
I've tried looking in IGI and found b/d listing for James Bird and marriage to Mary Carver but no details on Marys' parents or her birthdate or place.
Also in the Bird family tree: James' niece, Sophia Bird married James Bartle - their son, William Bartle (b/d 13/12/1846 Wrestlingworth) marries a Maria Carver (b/d 17/16/1849) in 1868 Biggleswade. Maria's parents are shown as James Carver and Sophia in an IGI search but in searching for possible parents, the only marriage of a James Carver shown in IGI is the son of Young Carver who marries Annie Handley but that's not until 1852.
Lots of head scratching...but now I'm thinking I'll go search to see if there is a "Bird" family thread...
If anyone has any suggestions, ideas or info, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks in advance!
Sandra
