Hi Angela

All i know about George Bird is that he is my ggg grandadand cannot find a death for him around 1871-81 in Bristol. but i am sure he was born in Taunton

All of his family were living in Bristol in 1881 and then they all disappear, the only one i can trace is Harry or vHenry my gg grandad who went to America but i would be grateful for any info no matter how small

Thanks

Nigel Green
