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.

My Mother's brother~ Ernest William Tooth~ married a Peggy Brown from Dordon in December~ 1949. After they retired~ they moved to Bournemouth and have since passed away. Other than her name and a few photos of my Aunty Peggy~ I have absolutely no o ther information about her at all - where she was born and when~ any other family she had~ her occupation so if anyone can give me any information at all for my Family Tree~ it would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

My Grandfather John William Tyler~ born 1893 came from Ibstock. He was a champion cyclist who was killed on his bike in 1923 when he was returning home from Coalville. I have a newspaper article about his death but no identification re the Newspaper. My Great Grandfather had a shop in 5 High Street Ibstock he sold bicycles etc. I believe his name was John also. My grandfather was in the Coldstream guards from 1915 to 1916. My Mother and her siblings were also born in Ibstock and their registration was at Market Bosworth. Any information would help in my research.

I am looking to find out any information that I can on my family. My grandfather George Stevens was born in Stockingford and his mother Alice Stevens in Hartshill (although I can find no record of her birth). She was the daughter of Henry and Hannah Stevens who lived in Grove Road Stockingford back in 1911. If anyone out there has a connection to this family I would very interested to hear from them.****Regards**Sarah Green

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.
