Kirk family of WymondhambyHello Rather excited to see your message on Wymondham message board. My maiden name is Kirk. My father, John Henry Kirk now deceased was born in Wymondham and had a wonderful memory for family history. I have a very tatty clippings book full of family history of births. marriages, deaths and Wymondham news in the late l800s early 1900s. My father left me with this family tree. Hope you can follow - William Kirk (1791-1837 died of fall from cart) -children Major Robert Kirk (l824-1895) and William Kirk (1821-1899) who married Anne Johnson (1819-1907)-children - William, Frederick (died 1883), Muriel (died 1882), Robert, Elizabeth and John Henry Kirk who married Lucy Arnold -their children were Jessy, Florence, John Henry, Victor, Lucy, Harriet, Beatrice, Robert, Sidney, and Charles William Kirk (1881-1927 my grandfather) who married Sarah Elizabeth Sharman (1884-1960) - children John Henry (1931-1991 my father) Kathleen, Joyce, Mary and Geoff. William and Ann Kirk (nee Johnson) lived at the "The Poplars" Wymondham. I have a rather touching clipping from the paper of the sale of the house with the handwriting of Anne Kirk - I quote "The dear old Home passed from me into the hands of strangers 13th July l904" It was a beautiful country house. I have many more clippings including poems written at the early death of William and Ann's children Frederick and Muriel. Sorry about this rushed note. I hope you can follow.
