Have you found him in the 1891 or 1901 census to get children's names?


Easily done.

1891, for starters; I assume all the random names are servants:


James C Bird 51
Louise B Bird 41
Fanny L Hammond 18
Joseph E Hammond 17
Sydney H Hammond 15
James C Bird 8
Dorothy C Bird 8
Eliza White 65
Tilda G Garlett 20
Kate L Dolman 24
Anna J Reid 45
Alice E Merrells 16
May Ward 30

1901

James Collis Bird 60
Elizabeth A Bird 35
Dorothy C Bird 18
Douglas C Bird 5
Leslie C Bird 3
Marion Hammond 55
Rhoda J Haywood 33
Edith S Jones 18
Ellen Brand 31
Annie E Saunders 25
Susan E Harrison 33
Emily Garrad 19


Evidently children of Louise from first marriage, plus children of Bird-Hammond marriage, then children of Bird-Williams marriage.

for the children's marriages?


(There's a virtually nil chance of a related person seeing your post, but if you do the research to find the children's marriages, find them in the 1911 census, get their children's names, find their children's marriages and children ... eventually you get the names of certainly living people to look for in places like the electoral roll.)

I am looking for living descendants of James Collis Bird b1839 St Pancras. Parents...Edmund/Edmond Bird and Ann Payne Bird formally Williams nee Collis.

James Collis Bird's birth certificate states his mother's name as Ann Charlotte Bird formally Collis...this is not correct.

James married Louisa Burrough Hammond in 1880 and in 1894 he married Elizabeth Ann Williams.

I have searched GR..perhaps someone has James on their pc tree but not here on GR. A long shot I know lol.

Mea culpa....I have also added to surname information...this is what comes of GR changes.
