I was wondering if there were any relative of the Hunt and Stafford Families still living in Polesworth. My Grandfather was Albert Hunt and Lived on Fairfield Hill, my other Grandfather was Henry Stafford who living at the end of the Gullet off Fairfield Hill.
Albert was born in Fazeley and married Gertrude Stafford around 1911 and lived on Fairfield Hill till about 1960 ish
Henry was I believe born in Burton Hastings and married Sarah Jane Harrison
There is I believe a largish family grave in Polesworth Churchyard close to the Wall of the church,
If anyone has any extra information I would be most grateful.

Hello all~**I am a descendant of the Allcott family~ and I know many of them lived in Hurley in the 1800~s. My grandfather was called Edward Allcott and was born in 1844. He seemed to have had quite a large family and I am trying to trace any of them. I do believe that they were buried in or near Hurley and if any one is able to help me with this~ I would be forever grateful!! I have tried searching for cemeteries in the area but have come up with nothing. As I live in Australia I am unable to visit personally. Hoping for some information to help me on my way.****Many thanks****Joan McEwan

Does anyone remember the Kneebone family. The couple moved into Dordon (New Street) around 1900 and had 9 children between then and 1920. Does anyone remember anything about them or better still have any photos. Im on the trail of my ancestors and any bits of information would be of interest. Thanks~ **Deborah.
