Among the Tibetans

The narrative follows Bird's life, beginning with her birth in Boroughbridge in 1831 and her upbringing in Tattenhall, Cheshire. As the daughter of a Church of England priest, she experienced a nomadic childhood, relocating frequently across Britain due to her father's various parish assignments. A significant event in her family's life occurred in 1848 when her father was ousted from his position as vicar of St. Thomas' due to parishioner discontent with his ministry style, highlighting the challenges faced by clergy families during that era.
