I am looking for a family genealogy published by Mitchell Hughes, publishers, in 1900, entitled The Birkbecks of Westmoreland and their Descendants I have not seen an original, but back in the early 1980s photocopied versions were sold to family m
embers in a blue binder with appendices and updated family trees from around the world, including the branch in Perth, Western Australia George Birkbeck 1875 to 1941 and his wife Charlotte Eliza Lawn she was formerly of Liverpool emigrated to Pert
h with some of their children. The book details the origins of the family in the Birkbeck Fells in the 500s and the first distinct spelling of names in 1515 I am a 5xgreat grandson of Dr George Birkbeck, founder of the Mechanics Institute, London lat
er Birkbeck College, University of London he formerly was a Dr of Pholosophy at Andersons College, Glasgow, 1799. My father Reuben was the last born son of five of George and Charlotte 1917-1977 and I an trying to trace my family this publicati
