My grandfather was Charles Birt. He was born in Ballymena (so his death Cert says) His wife Eliza Jane (nee Lynn), His father was John Birt and mother Bridget Birt nee McErlane. John had 4 children, Charles born 1874, John,
Patrick and daughter who we believe was Rose/Rosa or Anne/Anna and who went to USA or Canada (not sure if single or married) The 3 brothers all came to New Zealand early 1900 - 1911 and all remained here.
