She initially published it in 1930 in looseleaf form, and subsequently added to it through about 1934. She chose to concentrate only on those persons who spell the name the same way: "Birley", and as a result was unable to trace much before about 1700. Because of the similarity of the entries in Pedigree and in Burke's Landed Gentry, it is highly likely that she is the source from which the Burke's entries originated.

His age is listed as 31 which would set his birth year to 1850, but if the information was given to the census taker by one of the household servants, that might have been a guess.

This list of all known students, graduates, and officers at The University of Cambridge offers information from the university's earliest records through 1900. This is quite an impressive span when one considers that the earliest records of the university date from around 1261. This entire collection contains 10 volumes in 2 sets. The first set covers alumni from the earliest records to 1752 and the second set from 1752 to 1900. The compilation was completed in 1921. Every entry offers important information which may include any of the following: notable accomplishments, occupation, birth date, birth place, other schooling, spouse's name, parent's names, siblings and other important associations.

Despite this, it should be observed that almost all the contemporary entries in it come as the result of correspondence with the immediate families of the individuals listed.
