Bird and Power families of Bristol
« on: Sunday 11 October 20 16:28 BST (UK) »
Is anybody researching or descended from the Bird or Power families of Bristol? Birds were originally from Abbots Leigh but lived in Bedminster. Powers were originally from Suffolk. There is also a Cardiff connection.

I have an Albert Ernest Bird born 1877 who married my grandfather's sister Kate White.

I have not gone a long way back with the Bird family so don't know if they originated from Abbots Leigh.
