Generations 4 (paternal branches): Biographies,Obituaries, etc
February 8, 2020 ~ Justin Kirby
https://descentfromadam.wordpress.com/2020/02/08/generations-4-paternal-branches-biographiesobituaries-etc/
(A post about his son Alfred Octavius Kirby (1843-1919))
Only 10 of his siblings seemed to have survived childhood judging by census records. It is not clear what became of his eldest sister Emma Augusta who was born about 1832. She disappears from census records after 1851, so she may have married.
His eldest brother George Frederick was born in London about 1833, and there’s an announcement of the death of a George-Frederick, ‘eldest son of George Goldsmith Kirby, esq. of Kensingnton-park-gardens East’ in the June 1853 Edition of the The Gentleman’s Magazine (p.674). There’s no mention of any wife or Children.
William Henry was born about 1834 in London and there an announcement of his death in The Times, Tuesday, Feb 22, 1859. He would have been about 25.
Edward Goldsmith was Born about 1836 in London and there is an announcement of his death in The Times on 25 Aug 1860. He was a Lieutenant in the Royal Navy.
Montaque Alexander was born about 1837 in London, and he’s likely to be the ‘Montagu’ Alexander Kirby of the 78th Foot – 2nd Seaforth Highlanders who died of wounds in the Indian Mutiny on 25th September 1857 (see more here).
Henry Dillon was born about 1845 in London, and died 6 April 1860, aged 15.
The youngest sibling Katherine was born abt 1849. Census records show her living with her mother in 1891 aged 41. I don’t know when she died, and it is assumed she didn’t marry or have children.
There is also a mystery announcement in The Times on Thursday, May 26, 1853 about the death of Laura Elizabeth, “eldest surviving daughter and dear child of George Goldsmith Kirby, Esq., of 3. Kensington-park-gardens East.” She’s not mentioned in any of the census records, and only two other daughters identified were Mary Georgina born 12 March 1829 and Harriet Sarah born about 1831. It’s assumed they didn’t survive childhood.
We do, however, know that Alfred’s brother Arthur Raymond Kirby (1842-1916) married (Gertrude Fleming) and had 3 children who didn’t marry. The eldest Claude Arthur was awarded the OBE and his younger brother Alister Graham Kirby (14 April 1886 – 29 March 1917) has a wiki entry. He was a British rower who was captain of the 8 that won a gold medal in the 1912 Summer Olympics and died in service during WW1.

Generation 5: Paternal 3x Gt. Grandparents…
February 9, 2020 ~ Justin Kirby
https://descentfromadam.wordpress.com/2020/02/09/generation-5-paternal-3x-gt-grandparents/
In theory, there should be 32 ancestors in this generation, but two ancestors (Fitzherbert and Mary Wright) in the last generation were siblings so shared the same parents. And we can’t confirm the natural father of our great grandmother Annie Birtwistle (née Hartley), so that branch is currently a dead end. That means we not only have a duplicate pair of ancestors at this generation, but also a missing pair. And so there are actually only 28 possible ancestors we can currently trace in this generation.
We have only managed to find 26, partly because we are reaching the beginning of the Census records and therefore what I call the 3x Gt. Grandfather Enigma (see here). At the same time, not all records include the name of the bride’s maiden name making it difficult to trace their ancestry.
I should add that some of my mother’s maternal ancestors have been traced by deduction based on stitching together marriage, census records, etc. They might need a higher standard of genealogical proof, so should probably be treated as a working hypothesis or starting place for further research.
Previous generations can be seen at the following links:

Paternal > Paternal > Paternal > Paternal > Paternal Branch: Kirby + Watts
.....
We only discovered that our 3x Gt. Grandfather was a George Goldsmith Kirby (1806-1868) relatively recently thanks to Cambridge University Alumni records. The rest has been put together from publicly available records and help from an academic.
We know GGK was born around 1806 in London and that his father was a ‘gent’ called George, and that he was admitted as a pupil at Gray’s Inn on 1 July 1825. His mother may have been called Mary (possibly Mary Ann Witch) and she and George might have lived in Charles Street in the parish of St Andrew Holborn.
Thanks to census records and The Times we know a lot about where he lived, his children, etc (see more in previous Generation 4 Paternal Branches post). And that he married Harriet Sarah Watts (1804-1893) on 20th April at St George’s, Bloomsbury, London.
Homes included Little Marble Hill on The Thames in Twickenham:
The Law List of 1829 first lists GGK., as a ‘Special Pleader’, in the section for ‘Special Pleaders and Conveyancers not at the Bar’. His work address was given as 2 Churchyard Court, Temple (p. 53).
From 1830, Thomas Carr, Esq. has joined him at this address, and GGK is now listed as a ‘Conveyancer’, as he is in later census returns (p. 53). He last appears in the 1868 list, the year of his death, still as a conveyancer, but by this time he has moved to 7 Waterloo Place, Pall Mall (p. 197).
Thanks to Dr Timothy L Alborn at Lehman College, City University of New York we now also know that GGK became managing director of the Freemasons & General Life Assurance in 1838. The company changed its name to the Albert Life Assurance Company in 1849 and GGK managed it until he died in 1868.
According to Dr Alborn, being a “managing director” was a rarity among most life assurance offices, which typically separated salaried managers from directors. He was on around £400 a year, and to put this into perspective this was at a time when only about 10 per cent of population earned over £100 a year (from extract of Dr Alborn’s forthcoming book). It was, however, the 5% commission on sales where he made his money: in excess of £15,000 between 1863 and 1868, and probably at least £2000 a year for five years before that. It’s was, Dr Alborn believes, generous compensation packages like these that led to the failure of Albert.
It’s Dr Alborn guess (and it’s only a guess, since the Albert didn’t leave any records behind when it failed) that GGK was a mason, since he was “the original projector of the company” and it would be surprising that a non-mason would do this. He also explained that given the status of the company and when it formed, it was fairly normal for someone to come “out of nowhere” to manage such a firm in 1838.
He thinks GGK probably didn’t start making a lot of money until the name change and the string of acquisitions; his guess is that he earned huge commissions (in the £10,000 range) for some of these, given the purchasing price.
The Albert was taken over by GGK’s son Arthur R. Kirby, who was appointed one of the liquidators in 1869. He tried to get another company to take over the Albert’s business, but failed. Dr Alborn mentioned that Arthur appears in most accounts as well-intentioned but clueless. He also assumes that GGK was generally up to no good from at least the mid-1860s on.
There’s more about the Albert in Dr Alborn’s Regulated Lives: Life Insurance and British Society, 1800-1914 published in 2009. ...

George Goldsmith Kirby Mystery Revisted
September 7, 2010
http://descentfromadam.wordpress.com/2010/09/07/george-goldsmith-kirby-mystery-revisted/
Additional discoveries
The geneaologist also discovered that GGK, in addition to his insurance work, also practised as a lawyer. The Law List of 1829, a directory of legal professionals issued annually from the 18th centuryonwards, first lists George Goldsmith Kirby, Esq., as a Special Pleader, in the section for Special Pleaders and Conveyancers not at the Bar. His work address was given as 2 Churchyard Court, Temple (p. 53).
From 1830, Thomas Carr, Esq. has joined him at this address, and GGK is now listed as a Conveyancer, as he is in later census returns (p. 53). He last appears in the 1868 list, the year of his death, still as a conveyancer, but by this time he has moved to 7 Waterloo Place, Pall Mall (p. 197).
Above is part of a blog by Justin Kirby at "a tale of downward social mobility" Finding the ancestry of George Goldsmith Kirby at http://descentfromadam.wordpress.com/
"one trace of GGK was found, which occurred in the admissions to Grays Inn. It recorded the following admission as published in Joseph Fosters Grays Inn Admission Register, 1521-1889 (London,1889):
1 July 1825
George Goldsmith Kirby, only son of George K., of Kensall Green, Middlesex, gent. (p. 431)"
"Accordingly a search in the parish registers for St Georges, Bloomsbury to confirm this. The following entry was discovered (LMA, P82/GEO1/024):
George Goldsmith Kirby of this Parish a Bachelor and Harriet Sarah Watts of the Parish of Saint Martin in the fields, a Spinster, were married in this Church by Licence this twentieth Day of April in the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty-eight. By me J.H. Wynn, Curate (p. 197)."

Family genealogical deadends The Kirbys and Watts
August 4, 2009
http://descentfromadam.wordpress.com/2009/08/04/family-genealogical-deadends-the-kirbys-and-watts/#more-1235
Ive made nearly 100 posts so far and think Im getting to the point where Im regularly repeating myself and getting distracted by trying to make connections between distant relations on one site with those on another. So I think its high time I reconcile where Ive got to family by family. Ill start with the Kirbys.
With the help of George Graham of Tulsa and genealogist Jeremy Goldsmith weve managed to trace our branch of the Kirby back to a George and Mary Kirby of Charles Street, Holborn. Their son George Goldsmith Kirby is our great great great grandfather and was born in Holborn around 1806. According to the the Grays Inn Admission Register, 1521-1889 (London, 1889), George Goldsmith Kirby was admitted as a student in 1 July 1825. Hes registered as the only son of George K., of Kensall Green, Middlesex, gent.
We know little else about George and Mary above. For instance, we dont know when they were born, when they married or Marys maiden name. We know that George Goldsmith Kirby was a conveyancer andbanker, and did well financially although possibly not all above board. We also know he married a Harriet Sarah Watts. She was born on 27 January 1804 and was the daughter of Joseph and Hannah Watts,at Stratford, Essex. We know little else about Joseph and Hannah.
So our great great great great grandparents George and Mary Kirby and Joseph and Hannah Watts are as far as we can go back in this direction.

Some of Justin's notes on Kirby military serevice
You can follow George Goldsmith Kirby descendants from here:
http://members.cox.net/ggthomp/georgegoldsmithkirby.html
His son (Lieutenant) Montagu Alexander Kirby was in 78th Foot - 2nd Seaforth Highlanders and died of wounds in The Indian Mutiny 25th September 1857.
One of his other sons Edward Goldsmith Kirby was a Lieut. R.N., but it doesn't seem like he died in active service despite dieing relatively young.
A number of George Goldsmith Kirby grandson's fought and died in WW1.
Cadet ERNEST SEYMOUR KIRBY was son of Augustus George Kirby and was a gunner in 14th Field Artillery Bde., Australian Field Artillery. He died of disease on 2 February 1918
His brother Rev. Robert Dorrien Kirby must of been a Naval or Military Chaplain because he died of wounds in Yule, Illama, New Guinea on April 29, 1916. I didn't realise there was a front in New Guinea though.
His brother Eric Dorrien Kirby was promoted to Second Lieutenant in the 16th (County of London) Battalion, The London Regiment (Queen's Westminster Rifles). Not sure if he got any medals though. Seemslike he was in Australia at same time as our great grandfather George Henry Kirby.
Captain ALISTER GRAHAM KIRBY of 5th Bn., London Regiment (London Rifle Brigade) died of wounds aged 29 on 29 March 1917. He was son of Arthur Raymond Kirby. He had a different kind of medal having wona Gold at the 1912 Olympics in Stockholm for Men's eights.
His brother Claude Arthur Kirby had an O.B.E. He was commander in RNVR in WWI and Lt. Col in RAF during WWII. He didn't marry.
Our great grandfather George Henry Kirby was son of Alfred Octavius Kirby. While in Ceylon, he served for 9 years in the Ceylon Volunteer Rifles; resigned on leaving Ceylon, and sailed to Sydney, Australia. When war broke out in 1914, He enlisted in September of that year, and served in the 1st Light Horse Regiment. He saw service in Egypt, Gallipoli, and the Western Front. He was discharged on14 October 1918. I'm guess he only got campaign medals but having fought at both Galipoli and on the Western Front he should have probably been awarded the box set. His sister Mollie was awarded an MBE though.
George Henry Kirby seems to be the only male descendant of George Goldsmith Kirby. Our grandfather Claude was too young for WWI and too old for active service in WWII but did serve in RAF.
His brother Roddy was a Captain, Royal Corps of Signals. He died in on June 22, 1941, but am not sure whether this was on active service or not. I'm assuming it must have been as he is on Roll of Honour.
His sister Valda died in Japanese POW camp.
Dad was only child as was officer in RN serving in Korea.
