My grandfather Victor Earnest Parsons was born in Atworth in 1892. At some stage he moved to Monmouth in Wales for work. He was a miner. Does anyone know of any living family members? |

Hi, I'm currently researching my family tree and hope you may be able to
help with some local history. In or around 1840 my ancestors are recorded as living in Poplar Farm, Atworth. Their surname was Craven and Hayes. I believe there was also a small holding known as The Hayes which may also be connected. I would be so grateful if you were able to provide any further information. |

Reply: Sue and Dave: as Atworth residents will tell you, The Hayes still exists on the
A365 out of Atworth towards Shaw. Others may know more about the families. |
