Hi There
I'm trying to find the ancestry of my great great grandfather George Goldsmith Kirby born around 1806:
ttp://members.cox.net/ggthomp/georgegoldsmithkirby.html
He married (no date) a Harriet Sarah? b: abt 1805 Stratford, Essex.
We've managed to identified the following children:
Harriet Sarah, Born abt 1831 - London
Emma Augusta, Born abt 1832 - London
George Frederick, Born abt 1833 - London
William Henry, Born abt 1834- London Died 19 Feb 1859
Edward Goldsmith, Born abt 1836, London Died 24 Aug 1860, Age 24
Montaque Alexander, Born abt 1837- London
Arthur Raymond, Born abt 1841 - London (Married Gertrude Fleming)
Alfred Octavius, Born abt 1843- London (Married Alice Baxendale)
Henry Dillon, Born abt 1845 - London Died 6 April 1860, Age 15
Augustus George, Born 22 Jun 1847- London (Married Edith Smith Dorrien)
Katherine, Born abt 1849 - London
We now that he was managing director of the Albert Assurance e Company, and lived in various locations including: Little Marble Hill, Twickenham; Saint Clement Danes, Westminster, London; 5 Kensington Park Villas; 57 Queen's Gate; 7 Waterloo Place, London; and 3. Kensington-park-gardens East.
Some of the leads I'm following are a John Kirkby of Upper Rawcliff cum Turnaker who forfeited all his lands to the Commonwealth government for having supported the royalist cause... c. 1640.
Joshua Kirby (famous painter in 18th century c. 1712 - 1788, friend of Gainsborough) and Joshua Kirby Baldrey 1752-1828 - another painter who may have been Joshua Kirby's son, as we mysteriously have something about him in our family papers.
There's a potential connection with the county of Lancashire in the UK, so it could also be WIlliam Kirby Esq of Aslack, Lancashire whose daughter eleanor married Humphrey Senhouse of Netherhall or Ellenborough in about 1700 or so (his son died in 1718 umarried...).
There's also a Turner Kirby connection as the Rev. J. Kirby Turner assisted in the marriage of his son:
The Times, Monday, Jul 19, 1875: MARRIAGES
On the 15th inst., at St Jame’s Church, Piccadilly, by the Right Rev. the Bishop of Guildford, assisted by the Rev. J. Kirby Turner and the Rev. A. G. Kirby, ALFRED OCTAVIUS Kirby, of 57 Queen’s Gate, to ALICE, eldest daughter of LLOYD Baxendale, Esq., of No. 58 Grosvenor Street.
I think the Rev. J. Kirby Turner was also from Lancashire and I have blogged about the possible connection here:

I have to admit to being knew to genealogical research. So please forgive me if I haven't asked this in the right way or given you the kind of information that his helpful, but if anyone could give me some pointers then it would be very much appreciated.
Best and thanks
