Do you have any contact with the Hirds in Kirkby Stephen, if not I am familiar with the area and acquainted with both Hird and Mounsey names. Where are you can I help. Incidentally, my G-GFather was a James Hird but from Bradford, no known connection

Hird in Westmoreland

I took a quick look at the 1881 census and found an Eleanor Mounsey 22 domestic servant in Clifton which is near Penrith. I think this one may be yours. There is also a James Hird butcher near Kirkby Stephen who might be yours. There is still a butcher named Hird so when I go there I will see whether they are descended. E-mail me direct on nsc@ouvip.com so I can let you know when I have found something
