Hi,
On the 1840 census my GGGrandfather Samuel Bird with his wife Priscilla(Nee Dagger), is given as living in Clutton in Somerset where Samuel was a Lime Burner. No details of his parents are given.
Does anyone know if his family originated in the Forest of Dean as I have been told that that is where many of those who worked in the mines in Somerset came from originally.
Thanks for your help.
Robin
