Thankyou to you all.

The reason I am interested is that family tradition says that William and Winifred were cousins.
However, there doesn't seem to be the evidence to support that.

1861 - still living odcombe but Ann has obviously died

Henry Bird Head Widower Male 51 1810 Shoe Maker Odcombe, Somerset, England 
 
Elizabeth Bird Daughter Unmarried Female 19 1842 Shoe Binder Odcombe, Somerset, England

Jane Bird Daughter - Female 3 1858 - Odcombe, Somerset, England

Pheno

The 1841, 1851 and 1861 all have this family as Burt not Bird.  There is also a burial for Ann Burt of the right age in Odcombe c1855, I cannot see a death/burial for an Ann Bird in the area.  I don't think this can be the link you are seeking

Many thanks to you all. I guess I'll just have to keep digging.
