(Newton Abbot) His great great grandad was called Edwin. Edwin had a son in 1872 called William Charles Bickley. William had four sons and one of these was my grandad. (Leonard John Bickley) Leonard had a son (my dad) and called him David William Bickley. When my dad was small I think that his family ran a pub in Heneck. I may have spelt that wrong. He loved it in Devon and still loves Dartmoor today. In fact we are having a gathering of the clan next year to cellebrate my mum and dads 40th wedding anniversary. Some of his family still live there, and up unntil a few years ago hi cousin managed one of the most popular pubs in Newton Abbot. I think it's called the Courteny Arms. His cousin is called Collin and his mum was called Winifred. Any information would be welcome.
