ELLIOTT-BIRKS OF HOLME LANE. S6

[Lucy Birks]

I am a decendant of George Charles Elliott-Birks and his brother James Elliott-Birks of 277 and 279 Holme Lane.

 

I am working on my tree and wondering if anybody has any links/info about this family. I have got back to 1752, flood insurance claims from a family member but am trying to tie up some loose ends, found this site as RICHARDB has James in his listing on a different topic.

 

Hope to hear from somebody soon.. if i can help anybody thats also doing the BIRKS / LAVER / ELLIOTT-BIRKS tree then please send me an email lucybirks at msn.com or facebook Lucy Birks.
