Hi,

     My name is Ann Jane Bird, I’m looking for information on my family who came from Lisburn. I will be traveling over there in two weeks camera in hand to grab some nice shots of the area and hopefully where my family actually lived in the area. Here is what I have so far.

My GGG Grandfather William Bird Born Abt 1800 unknown wife his child as follows…

My GG Grandfather John Bird B.1827 Denight, Blaris D. 1903 Married Ann Best B. 1829 Portadown, Co Armagh D. 1914 Longstone St, Lisburn, Antrim their child…

My G. Grandfather Joseph Bird B. 1871 Blaris, Lisburn D. 21 Jun 1935 Govan, Glasgow Married to Annie Linn Bird (Possibly Cousin) B. Sept 1873 Govan Glasgow (Although I can’t find a record of her birth in Scotland’s People) D. 21 Jul 1939 Govan, Glasgow.

I’m now aware that there are many of the Bird family still living in Ireland and some of the family had moved to both Canada and Australia. 

Any help or idea’s would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Ann.
