Follow up on Bird's House. Have found some more of my records and came across William Bird(Poulton) marriage to Margery Gill of Liscard(a widow)3/2/1661 @St Mary's on Hill, Chester.Now the Gills' were a very big and wealthy family in the area at that time. Maybe that could throw the cat amongst the pigeons so far as the date stone is concerned.,Also have you any idea of when the Bird's House transferred to Vyners and how old the map of Jerusalem uncovered on the walls might be? In the last quarter of 1600'sand beginning of 1700's there appeared quite a number of biblical name's in the family of Bird's .Nehemiah, Jeremiah. Isaac, Joshua, Samuel, Emmanuel and Joseph. These have appeared from nowhere. They are not previous family names. I wonder if one family member may have been of the Jewish faith.Although it could have been the strong church connection from William Bird,Church Warden. Any ideas or thoughts are welcome. Thanks

Not only but also, got details of William Bird and others going back to 1545. It's so complicated tho' to put all down in a way it can be understood. There is also a Viners map of Seacombe dated 1665 which is in Rise and Progress of Wallasey. That I am sure, shows Bird's house but a magnifying glass is most definitely needed. Other info I have and still finding, I still feel is pointing to 1621 for the house date stone. It would be nice to show someone and have a chat about it.

Hi Guys
Had a PM this morning from the owner. He can't make the 6th Aug' and probably no other weekend through the summer.
I have said that I will put it to the gang and maybe go on a weekday!
What do you think?

Ah, what a shame! Only day I could do during the week would be a Tuesday; working/childminding grandson (who is crawling like a caterpillar on speed at the moment!) at other times. If that day doesn't work for others, then no worries.
