I have been researching
my Stirk family tree for a couple of years now. My Stirk
line came from the Birmingham England area. The British
census was really the only source of information I could find. I
was basically stuck. The only information I had was that my
great grandfather, Frederick
James Stirk (b.1857) came to America with is wife Ellen
Brown(b.1857) from Birminham England, sometime between 1890 and 1893.
They
lived in the Worcester Massachussets area, and
later some moved to
the Fairfield Connecticut area.
I had recently lost interest on my tree because I was having very
little success in finding any new information. Then I recently
got lucky.
I found a website
(http://www.yorkshireindexers.co.uk) decidated to researching different surnames from England.
To
my amazment, I was able to find my Stirk family line. The
information on is website began exactly where mine data left off. I
couldn't believe it. This website maintains and researches
all sorts of data from old church records, courts, newspapers
etc..
This one website has now given me information on my Stirk
family all the way back to 1597. I couldn't believe that I
had found an additional eight generations to my family tree.
Ingram Stirk born abt.1597 in England, is as far back as I
can go with my family treeat the moment. Now that I found this
new information, I have a renewed interest in researching my
family tree again.
So I have now updated this website with all of the new information as I know it today.
I plan to update it it regularly, so please come back again to check for any updates.
I am always searching for more information to
add to this website, so
feel free to share any information you may have on the Stirk family, or
anyone who may be listed on this website. I would greatly
appreciate it. Also, if you see any mistakes
on this site please contact me as well.
