FAMILY BRANCHES
Just as this oak tree has many branches of many and varied types with history interwoven into its shape, our Kirkman family is the same. We can identify some distinctive separate lines now, and more will arrive over time, and as our DNA Project grows.

DESCRIPTION |
|
The Lancashire Branch of the Kirkmans is the largest in UK. In the 1881 census, there were 1271 Kirkmans resident there. | |
|
The Midlands Branch of the Kirkmans includes the counties of Leicestershire, Derbyshire (which includes Twyford), and Nottinghamshire (yet to be done). | |
|
In the 1881 Census, there were 30 Kirkmans resident here. Most of my own line comes from this County. | |
|
There were 106 Kirkmans living in the County in 1881. It grew rapidly after 1750 when Benjamin Kirkman from Leicestershire moved here. | |
|
This line is for the descendants of John Kirkman b abt. 1645. They eventually spread to Coventry, London, Liverpool and other parts of the Southern Counties | |
|
In the 1881 Census, there were 43 Kirkmans and 231 Kirmans present in this County. | |
|
In the 1881 Census, there were 89 Kirkmans living in the Capital. The London Kirkmans prior to 1750 have yet to be analysed, so at the moment this branch enumerates the Musical Kirkmans who emigrated from Germany | |
|
Many USA lines started with George Kirkman who arrived in USA in 1649 | |
|
This Kirkman line originated in Denmark, arriving in USA in 1852 |
