Hi Phil
You obviously have some very precious documents. Of historical and particular interest of course to descendants of the named individuals and there has to be many outthere - perhaps with no way of knowing the store you have in your possession. As for me they are of no particular interest. My interest is confined to Wreathem Hall and the descendants of Wryley Birch of whom there has to be many as well, he having had 14 children. The son that is of particular interest to me, Thomas Jacob (Birch) developed a magnificant farm on "wild land" along the west coast of Ireland between 1855 and his death (at that farm) in 1867. His siblings decided that he should be buried there because of his attachment to the place and because the work he had set out to do was not finished. His brother Henry William (sometimes referred to as William Henry) continued on with the work until 1884 when the Clive (of India) family who owned the estate refused to renew the Lease. Since Thomas Jacob had remained a bachelor he has no direct descendants but there has to be descendants of some of his many brothers and sisters. Seems Wreathem Hall, like many of the great houses, hasvanished from the face of the earth. If there is anything you know I would be pleased to hear from you.
Meantime many thanks for the contact and the compliments of the season to you and yours.
Pat Mullarkey.
