  Origins
  Patriarch & Matriarch	John BIRCH,   b. Abt 1699,   bur. 28 Apr 1785, All Saints’ Church, Petham, Kent, England  (Age ~ 86 years)  (Grandfather)  Susan BAKER,   d. Yes, date unknown  (Mother)
  Notes	(Research):At the time of the 1841 census Halke Birch was living with a Sarah Birch rounded down age given as 55, and a William and a George Birch, age of both given as 20. Given that in later censuses William is with a 'sister' Mary Birch, born c. 1790, I am sure that Sarah was the wife of this Halke, not a son with the name, and so Mary was Halke's daughter (and William's sister) by a previous marriage.
