History
The Kirby family can be traced back to Herbert Kirby, who married Beatrice Holbrook in 1920. They had one child named Douglas, who was born in 1921, in Edmonton. He married Madeline Young in 1946, and had two children named Keith and Pauline. They divorced sometime after this, and she moved back to Bristol, where she had an affair with a man named James Lawlor, whom she had a daughter with named Shirley, who was born in Aylesbury in 1950. She was brought up to believe Douglas was her father, until reading otherwise in a letter written by her mother. Douglas and Madeline remarried in 1952, and went on to have another son named Stanley. In the 1950s and 1960s, they lived in 3 Falkland Avenue in Barnet. Their marriage came to an end in 1989, when Madeline died. Douglas died nine years later.
