I have Thomas Burd as father; Thomas Tyler as son: Joseph as son; Agnes, Clara as daughters of Thomas Tyler and down from there. There was a son who was "deaf & dumb" as described in other data. I do know that Thomas Tyler was also a bell ringer at the local St. Mary's church, ringing the hymns on Sundays

Re: Burd in Shropshire, England from 1600

Thomas Burd,b. 1811;sons- Thomas Tyler Burd, b. 1833and Joseph Burd.b1838. Lived in StMarys Parish in Shrewsbury, Shropshire . Sorry I have nothing beyond that but names of children and grandchildren. Not sure what I can tell you.

Re: Burd in Shropshire, England from 1600

peterfitchett78 — 2009-06-30 01:43:28Z

I have counted 9 different spellings of the family(s) around Shrewsbury, but this is just non-standardised spelling. I have both Thomas and Joseph in my family records, but it is rather difficult to be possitive about a match without a few more details. Can you provide a bit more - full names & dates where possible are most useful. Either reply here or direct at (pfitchett at netaccess dot co dot nz).

Re: Burd in Shropshire, England from 1600

Queenslander22 — 2009-06-29 20:39:35Z

My great grandparents were from Shrewsbury in Shropshire. I think there numerous families by the name. Ours were spelled bUrd. I can only go back to 1811 and get stuck. Included a Thomas, a Joseph. Thanks for anything you have

Hi BJ,
No, I've not gotten any other info on John Burd yet. I'm still trying to determine if he is the father of William H Burd. There are so many Burd/Bird's living in Sussex County. Thanks for responding.

Re: John Burd- Sparta

bjbird421 — 2009-01-24 06:31:15Z

I am chasing the same John Burd, as I believe there may be a connection to Alexander Bird living in Otswego new York, I believe they may be brothers. Have you been able to find any additional information on John Burds parents? I have a secondary bit of information that his mother may be listed as Jane Black.

John Burd- Sparta

BillHamilton157 — 2008-12-29 00:59:34Z

There is a John Burd in Sparta, Sussex Co. NJ in the 1850 Census. Listed is a son, William, age 15. I'm trying to ascertain what became of this William- who he married and where he lived. There are several William Bird's (Burd) about the same age in this area. There is another William C Bird, son of Clarkson. I'm trying to find out what became of William, son of John. I think he may have moved to Goshen, Orange County, NY.
Thank-you for any help you can give.
My G-Grandfather, William Burd, was born in 1836 in Sparta, and I'm trying to see if this one could be him.

I would be very interested in seeng what line of Burd's you decended from. I've been tracing the BURD line for several years now. So far we've concluded that the Burds started in Elizabeth NJ. My line then moves on to NY.
Also there is a Message Board for the BIRD/BURD/BYRD on Rootsweb.

Old Photo of Henry Burd - Illinois

RandallMcDaniel44 — 2007-01-13 00:28:19Z

I recently purchased an old photo at an antique shop in Illinois. The photo is labeled on the reverse "Henry Burd, chum of Claudia at Wesleyan". Probably refers to Illinois Wesleyan University. The photo was taken at a photo studio in Potomac Illinois. If this is one of your ancestors please contact me.

Re: Looking for Obituary for Barbara Burd

soccerburd — 2008-01-03 18:45:22Z

Can you trace your father's ancestry back any? Even though MY Barbara is not YOUR Barbara, it is very probable that we are related- I can trace my line all the way back to Thomas BIrd b. 1600 in England. There is a Bird/Byrd/Burd DNA project that could also assist you to trace you ancestry (although this costs a few bucks!) if you are STUCK and don't have any information. I have other information on other lines of Birds besides my own too. Let me know if you need some of this info at soccerburd@yahoo.com

Good luck,

Thank you so much for your information! You don't know how much this means to me. This is the first link I've had to my Father other than two photos.

I did go to Hart Co. and tried to find information, with no success around 2002. If you have more information, or any suggestions how I need to go about finding any more information on his family, please e-mail me directly at vholder@pandj.com.

Again, thank you so much!

Re: Henry Burd

vholder54 — 2008-09-30 21:01:37Z

I need to update the posting I have on Ancestry.com. I am one of the success stories. My first posting was in the year 2000. You can read them to understand that I was searching for my Father and/or his people.

In 2008, my dear cousin Judy answered my query. She has done extensive genealogy on the Burd family, and she recognized the people in my search. With her invaluable assistance, I have found my aunt and a host of cousins. I have been to KY to meet them. Regrettably, I also found out that my Father passed away in 1974.

I still have a half sister named Diana Kay that I hope to someday find and get to know. Getting to know all of my Burd kin has enriched my life immeasurely. I am truly blessed.

As Judy has already told you, we descend from William Spencer Burd. My Grand Father was Robert "Bob" Burd, who was the son of James Robert Burd and Susan Emily (Susie) Harper Burd.

Re: Looking for Obituary for Barbara Burd

scaleytiger1 — 2008-01-03 20:36:04Z

I can trace my father's ancestry pretty far back. With the help of other researchers it can be traced to Edward (Longshanks) Plantagent via his daughter Elizabeth and even farther back. I do think we have a bit of miscommunication though, my father is not a Burd. He was married to a Burd, the mother of the four oldest of my siblings, Josiah II, John, Lynette and Kimberly. Their mother was Barbara Burd. She had two other children Shauna and Brandon. I am researching Barb for them and my neices and newphews. All I know about her is that her mother's names was Anna "Molly" Davies, known as Grandma Burd and that she supposwdly immigrated from Wales around 1906. I haven't verified that yet though. Also somewhere there is supposed to be some native american indian, but I havent been able to verify that either. Thank you for your help.

Re: Burd Family Bible printed in PA

NinaBarnhart723 — 2007-07-09 04:07:57Z

I find it strange that folks who came to Missouri from Tennessee had a Bible printed in PA or from PA. I remember when researcher families were trying to decide who Daniel Burds parents were that there was mention of some Burds from the "north" Ralph visited with his cousins, Burd, not too long ago by phone he just calls them all up and chats. Ralph is related to the the Burds through his great grandmother Margaret Burd who married Jasper Blanton. His mother was a Blanton. What information does the Bible have on the "old" Burds?
