He died 6 August 1777 and I think it is his wife, Sarah, who died 21 June 1784. Does anyone have anything on this family?

I am ever so pleased he is well again and that he is indeed up and running in trying to connect people who have Birch contacts like us all. I will give John a call sometime and touch base. I really eny you as it sounds like you had a good few hours with John and were able to find your roots. Also to get a copy of the Birch chronicle is really wonderful, something I would love to get myself. I may have to get him to book me the 2nd chronicle he puts out. I am trying to trace my Birch's in Staffordshire area mainly Leek, Ipstones, Kingsley,Whiston and froghall last time John couldnt find any of them mainly my gggrandfather Joseph Birch born 1781 in Leek he married a Hannah Bardell. So if you come across any from these areas you will know they belong to me. Thank you once again for letting me know about John, I guess now he will be flooded with enquires so will let the dust settle before I make contact so as not to bog him down. Kind regards.
