For this line, I have to go back quite a few surnames to get to the Kirby surname. My nana's maiden name was Reynolds, who's mother's maiden name was Roach, who's mother's maiden name was Daly, who's mother's maiden name was Kirby. Ellen Kirby is my great great great nana, b. 1847 in Ireland and d. 1892 in San Francisco, CA. I have been blessed with a distant cousin who tracked me down after my grandfather Bobbitt had died and I had hit a road block in getting past Roach on this side. He has done extensive research on this line and has been nice enough to share his research with me.
