I was born in Burton; my side of the family originates from Leigh nr Uttoxeter; farmers in Church Leigh. There are still family members there. I am back as far as my ancestor of the same name David Atkin 1824-1908, born in Doveridge, who may well be related to Edward A. I am stuck on tracing DA's parents who verbal history says was a publican who loked after horses for stage changes in coaching days. does this tie in wih your research? David Atkin Tel 01827 718310
