Johnkb Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Hi I am trying to find out about my great, great grandfather Albert Edward Bird who was born in Sheffield on 15 August 1846. He was the son of William Bird and Sarah Mosley. Albert was brought to Melbourne Australia to run professionally in 1869 along with 2 other athletes, Topley and Hewitt. Albert was apparently the long distance running champion of England. Albert was very successful particularly establishing many long distance running records in Tasmania where he settled in 1872. I was hoping to learn more about Albert's life before he left England, especially anything about his running career. I waould appreciate hearing from anybody who may know something of Albert or who could put in the right direction to learn more. thanks John Bird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
