Bird Family

Hello My name is Chris Dann I am a direct decendant of Frank Gilbert Bird of Honingham, England and I am looking for decendants of his brothers and sisters. Frank had an older brother named Charles Edward Bird born in 1893, a younger brother named Cyril Victor Bird born in 1900  and a younger sister named Olive born in 1892. Olive married a Stanley Shickle and they lived in East Dereham. Frank also had a younger sister named Kathleen born in 1904, Harvey George born in 1906, Eric Perival 1908 and Melville Eve born in 1910. The family grew up at Tollgate Farm and sometime after the 1901 census the name of the farm was changed to the Grange Farm.

Family memory

My father's grandfather used to own Brundall Gardens, he has some photographs of us standing on the steps with great-grandfather holding me when I was a baby, he also has photographs of my brother who is a year older than I in the gardens with the stone statues.  My father being the eldest son would have inherited the house and gardens.  Unfortunately his grandfather's second wife sold it and it now  a housing estate.

Occupations in Great Witchingham

I have found out that my great, great, great grandfather, William Brigham was a baker at Great Witchingham (1841 census). My other GGG grandfather, James Smith, was a miller.
James Smith's son, Frederick, was the grocer/draper/flower seller (1871 census).
William's grandson, Frederick, became the rate collector, coal and oil merchant by 1896.
Would love to find any pictures of the area.
