The surname in the Christening record was spelt Kelham.
Her parents names were George and Catherine.
Mary had two younger sisters, Catherine and Ann and two younger brothers, George and Mark.
No marriage record has yet been found for Mary KELLAM and Mark BIRD but they went on to have five sons and two daughters between 1820 and 1832 all born at Foston.

Catherine BIRD (1828 - 1904) my 2nd great-grandmother
Christopher BIRD (1829 - ?)
Mark BIRD (1832 - 1916)
Mary died in January 1834 in Foston, England, at the age of 38 and her husband Mark died in December 1834 at the age of 45.
They are buried at St. Peter's church Foston.
At Mary and Mark's deaths, the children ranged in age from 14 years to 2 years.
It isn't known where the elder children lived after their parents deaths but the youngest son Mark BIRD was found in the 1841 census living with his grandfather George KELLAM at Waltham-on-the-Wolds, Leicestershire.
George KELLAM was a master wheelwright as was his son-in-law Mark BIRD and eldest grandson George Kellam BIRD.
