 Adding to the above, do you know the connection between Sir Oswald Birley, the artist to the above family? As his full name was ""Oswald Hornby Joseph Birley"", there must be a family connection. I suspect that Oswald's father, Hugh Francis Birley is also a son of Hugh Birley, but I can't pin this down for certain. He is described here as a member of a Lancashire family and the dates fit. Any held you can give would be appreciated.    "
