Atkins Family from Westbury, Wiltshire
« on: Monday 13 October 14 12:08 BST (UK) »
Hi everyone. My first post so please be gentle LOL!

Im trying to find out more about my Dads side of the family, Atkins, who were mainly from Westbury.
My grandmother was Joyce Atkins, maiden name of Petch, and my grandfather Victor Atkins.
I know that my Great Great Grandfather James William Atkins and his wife, Emma Eliza (Maiden name Bull) were the landlords of the Lopes Arms Inn and I believe also the Crown Inn, both located in the Market Place in Westbury.

If you know anymore, PLEASE get in touch
Thanks for reading this!  ;D
