Rosina Coxhead born 1865 Aldersgate. Married Walter Augustus Bird in 1886 in Marylebone. Daughter of Joseph Coxhead (1806) and Martha Gibbons (Gibbins) 1829.
Had brothers Edmund, born Cookham 1850; Joseph born Bray 1853
Henry born London 1859 (Edmund died in London in 1857).
The family appeared in 1861 census, then only father Joseph with son Henry, then aged 12 appeared in 1871 - no sign of son Joseph nor Rosina. Though he was described as widower I have been unable to find a death for Martha. Joseph died in 1876, Henry and older brother Joseph do not appear in any census nor does Rosina.

Rosina was christened in 1873, record of this shows only the names of her parents, no godparents and no idea who was caring for her. Then no trace until her marriage in 1886.

Her two brothers may have emigrated, no trace so far.
