Birch family
« on: Tuesday 06 March 12 04:11 GMT (UK) »
Hi
Am researching the Birch family of Nottingham. My grandfather was George Birch, son of Joseph and Miriam Alice (nee Jackson). They had 4 children, Mary, George, Urania and Leonard. I'm after any info on George's siblings if anyone can help?
Thanks

Hi

Wow what a response. I should have joined this site ages ago!
I know George was born 1886 and died 1965 both events in Nottingham. He married Minnie Lee in 1908 and had nine children. The 1901 census list by Wozzle is correct. I've noticed another Urania Birch marrying an Alfred Vickers too - any relation do we think?

Thanks for all your help so far!
