Two children, Stella Caroline Hird and Malcolm Stickney Marston
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Francis Hird died the year that my grandfather William Hird (Francis' cousin) had his youngest son Frank (named after Francis). Byrmina gave Francis' boat to William who used it a few times and then sold it. All I really know about Francis is that he was a member of the Freemasons in Dorcester whose lodge has since moved to Braintree, Ma. and merged with another there. Byrmina came from Maine and as family lore goes, she got a job as a domestic and somehow met Francis.
Malcolm Hird died in Rockport (a touristy town next to Gloucester) in 1988. I have no info regarding any family he may have left, nor do I know what became of Stella.
Francis came from the Aberdeen area of Scotland, and
started out as a horse team driver and eventually joined the Boston police. In that job, he eventually became harbor-master and enjoyed sailing a small boat which he kept docked at the Dorchester Yacht Club. There are still quite a few (Hird family) in Kentville, NS, Canada area.
This info was added by a relative, Bill Fallon.
