History
Elizabeth "Bess" Cross Hart was born in Newfoundland in 1885. She came from Trinity Bay to visit her uncle Frederick "Fred" Hart just prior to the start of World War I and stayed on as a nanny to her cousins at the Hart House. While in Burnaby, she was the organist at the St. Albans Anglican Church. Sidney Arthur Bird was born on July 30, 1886, in Stamford Lincolnshire, England. After apprenticing as a carpenter and carriage maker in England, Sidney arrived in Canada in 1910 at the age of 24 and settled in Burnaby near Edmonds and Kingsway. He and Elizabeth met at Saint Albans Church. Sidney served overseas during World War I with the first contingent Expeditionary Forces and returned in 1918. Elizabeth and Sidney were married in Prince Rupert on June 28, 1920. Their daughter Mary Louise was born November 14, 1921. Their son Albert Walter was born March 1, 1923. They raised their family in Prince Rupert, British Columbia, and ran Bird's Confectionery. Elizabeth Cross Hart Bird died in July of 1951. Sidney died in September of 1975. Albert married and had a family; his daughter Patricia (Bird) Tuchscherer and her husband Ray currently live in Langley, British Columbia.
