Kevin Bird, Lily Bradfield, Douglas Bird, Darrel Bird and Gladys Rahmann. Lily Bradfield was born 1882 at Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucester, England. By 1901 she had moved to Toowong, Queensland, Australia and on the 8th of January that year she married Alfred Edward Bird.

Together they had nine children : Victor Alfred, Kent Noel, Joyce Lilian, Rex Edward, Harold Edward, Clifford Chetwynd, Douglas Arnold, Howard Bradfield and Clive Burnett.

Lily later lived with her son Clive, probably passing away in late 1950s / early 1960s.
