Has anyone found connections to John Gomm Bird born 1857 died c1935, youngest child of James Bird and Selina Bird (possible cousins who married in the 1840s). John Gomm Bird of Wavertree married Sarah Francis Whitley of Runcorn and his elder brother Thomas William Bird married Sarah's sister Elizabeth Whitley. James (1824-1858)was born in London a to a William Bird and Mary. William and Mary had other children including Henry and Eliza who also moved to Liverpool with mother Mary (Bethnal Green ) James's wife Selina was born 1818 Liverpool(?) and died in 1891. She was a confectioner. Her father, Thomas was born in London in 1778 and died in Liverpool about 1852 - Thomas also lived in Manchester in the early 1800s. At the turn of the 20th C, John Gomm Bird and Sarah Whitley had the following children 1. John Stphen Gomm Bird 2. Sarah Francis Bird m Arthur Barton 3. Selina Elizabeth (May) Bird m William Menzies 4.James William Bird (My Grandfather) m Lillian E Lamgford 5. Charles Edward Bird 6.Horatio Parkyns Bird.(Killed in action WW1).

I have connections to James through his brother Samuel BIRD. I have recently discovered the connection to the GOMM/BIRD family. I agree that they are possibly cousins. Look forward to hearing from you.
