|
 | Chestham Park The manor house at Chestham Park was purchased by John Coveney around 1874 and then left to his nephew, Henry Ross, whose widow, Eliza Bird, lived there until her death in 1904. |
 | Henry Ross Bird (1854 - 1926) This is the story of my great grandfather. There are more questions than answers at the moment but all will become clear one day ! |
 | Nina Bird (nee St Paul) (about 1855 - 1935) Nina was married to George Coveney Bird (1851 - 1930). Remembering they had no children, this is an extract from her Will dated 5th September 1933.
|
 | Nina Mabel Foley Bird (nee St Paul) (about 1855 - 1935) Nina’s Will throws up some interesting questions relating to the ownership of The Rhodrons, why Leslie and not Percy benefited from her estate and the Everdon connection which comes up again, coincidentally this time, I think. |
 | The Ceylon Connection ? My Mother told me, on more than one occasion, that Percy Hyde BIRD, my grandfather, owned a tea plantation in Ceylon, although on another occasion he was described as a tea planter. I have therefore been intrigued to find out if the family had some connection to George BIRD, the father of coffee plantations in Ceylon and responsible for the earliest known use of Tamil labour on the island. |
 | Percy Hyde Bird Percy, my grandfather, was born on 6th May 1883 at 'Fairlight', Cadogan Road, Kingston, Surrey. He liked to be referred to as “The Major”.
