Hicks Family
This photo shows the shop where I was born in the 1950's - my mum's name is on the sign above the shop, June Veronica Hicks. The photo must be after 1964 as it was my dad's,John Hicks's Newsagents shop & that was the year he died. There was also a shop just showing on the left behind the black & white buliding which was a baker where the bread was baked on site & that was run by Frank Hicks who was my uncle. The Hicks family lived in the village from about the early 1800's. We left in 1971 & there are no Hicks's living in the village now. We would love to return but cannot afford the house prices now. Editor's note: Thank you for the information re the date of the image - our archivist will be altering the date on the database & website shortly.
Re: Davis Family History
Hi Linda, Not sure how my tree links in with yours but I am also descended from a Davis family that I have traced back to Inkberrow. So far I have gone back to a John Davis born 1808, who was a farmer working on Priory Piece. It appears my family stayed there for a few generations before the line I'm descended from moved to Birmingham and then up to Bolton. From doing some further research I have also discovered that Priory Piece still has a farmer present day with the surname 'Davis' so possibly some living distant relation? Any information from anyone would be appreciated. Thanks, Sam.
Davis Family History
I have been researching the Davis family, who lived on Feckenham Square for many years. My grandfather used to tell us that he remembers going to his grandparent's house when he was a boy in the early 1900s. I have found family members living here as early as 1861, although they certainly lived in the village before then. I live in Australia, and I would dearly love to see these places one day.
