Sobre IBD

Bird was born in Boroughbridge in 1831 and grew up in Tattenhall, Cheshire.[1] As her father Edward was a Church of England priest, the family moved several times across Britain as he received different parish postings, most notably in 1848 when he was replaced as vicar of St. Thomas’ when his parishioners objected to the style of his ministry.
