Hi I have just found this site , it’s brilliant my great grandfather was James Kirby and my great grandmother was Annie . I am really interested in any family history info you have as I can only go back this far . Sadly my father Barry Cox died 6 years ago so I have no one to ask about his side of the family . I have found reading these emails fascinating thanks in anticipation

Hi Amanda, are you still actively searching? Ryan
 
yep, I know what you mean. With my dad getting on now I plan to pick his brains on the more interesting side of the Kirby family, namely Annie, James, James senior and Elisa.
 
My wife is a Kirby, her dad was James Kirby, but it appears NOT the notorious James Kirby. Her grandparents were William Kirby/Janet While.
 
Hi Jim, just to add my twopenneth, I went to school with a John Kirby who lived in South road Hockley, number 103 I think.John lived with his older brother, and mom & dad. We went to st Michael’s upto 1962, then to William Murdock until we left in 1966, unfortunately I lost contact with John as we progressed into working life. I’m not sure if this was the Kirby family everyone is talking about.
