When researching .....remember that South Normanton is in
DERBYSHIRE,,,,,Kirkby in Ashfield and also Huthwaite, are over the border
line and in NOTTINGHAMSHIRE,,
For the people not knowing the area,,,,,all places are within walking
distance of each other ,,,,,but are in two different Shires,
The Fox / Davenport listed below,,,,,i believe they are fron Kirkby in
Ashfield,,,,but this Fox family , i believe originated from Sutton in
Ashfield

Hope this helps
