I am searching Kirby relatives living in the Alhambra, Red Deer, or Rocky Mountain House vicinity. My great-grandparents were Thomas and Mary (Biles) Kirby. Their children were Timothy See, Jesse, Samuel, Susan, LouEller,Zorah, (Elza) Huston, and Lucy. My grandparents, Huston and Eva Kirby lived in Alhambra a few years before returning to Illinois in 1935. My mother, Mary Ellen Kirby Tonn was born in Alhambra in 1928. I would appreciate any family information.

Thank You.

The finding aids and indexes (not online) of the Alberta Genealogical Society list some 100 Kirby names, among them are;

Mary Jane KIRBY, 1859 - 14 Apr 1934 (wife of Thamas M. KIRBY) buried in the Horseguard Cemetery at Alhambra.

There is reference to Thomas & Mary KIRBY and other KIRBY's in a couple of Local History Books of the Alhambra area.

For further research please contact the AGS Research Group of the Edmonton Branch, http://agsedm.edmonton.ab.ca

I am the grandaughter of Zora Kirby Burch, and great grandaughter of Tom Kirby and Mary Jane Biles Kirby, and am researching the family history. I have quite a wealth of information on the Kirby's (back to 1600's England) due to another cousin (grandaughter of Lou Eller) who has done research for 15 years and shared her information with me. I would love to make contact with other family members and compare notes. I am trying to find out exactly when Tom and Mary Kirby emigrated to Canada. There's some difference of opinion among my aunts and uncles.

I noticed the age of your posted message, but will offer just the same.... I have a copy of the area history book called Hoofprints to Highways which contains two articles on your family. Have you already received this information?

Hi
My Mothers Family (Phillips) were in Alhambra at the same time. My mother was born in 1925 with siblings after, so your Mother would probably have known them. I also have school records for the same time. I still have relatives in the area that might have info. Please let me know.

Hello,
My name is John Gardner, the son of Lucy Kirby's daughter, Betty White. I'm trying to aquire some info on Mary Jane Kirby's family history. Anything you might be able to help with would be... helpful.
I've been able to track down the Biles side, to the 1600's (I believe) and it would be great to add the Kirby's to my tree back to the same time.

Thank you
