These people aren't essential bricks in my son-in-law's wall, but they're driving me mad! I know they were born and with names like theirs they should be all too easy to search for, but they're NOT
Bromborough Bush Bird and Nehemiah Bird- I kid you not!
Bromborough Bush Bird was born in Bromborough, Cheshire in 1867, and his older brother, Nehemiah was born in 1865, and his father Nathan Bird worked on a sloop called the Bromborough. The other kids had perfectly ordinary names for the period!
I can't find marriages or deaths for Bromborough or Nehemiah Grrrrrr
I feel better for getting that off my chest - now to move on? (Who am I kidding!)
Bromborough and Nehemiah where are you?

What can I say?
Do you ladies have any idea how long I have been searching for these two? I tried to think of the kind of mistranscriptions that Ancestry might come up with (this resulted in total imagination overload!)
Ta! Thank you! Gracias!

WheeHee!!!!
Some of those trees have solved the puzzle about a missing member of another branch in my son-in-law's family
I've been printing off the relevant sections of those trees like a wild woman.
Now I need to put the on.

It has also confirmed that Nehemiah was a long standing family name, going way back to the 1700's at least.
Poor Bromborough seems to have either been named after the place he was born or after his Dad's sloop called Bromborough.
Just as well it wasn't a wee bit later and his Dad wasn't the driver of the Flying Scotsman
