Im actually related to him, he is my Great Great Granfather on my mothers side. Iv not managed to research any further back than him. I think they actually came from Staffordshire.... If you look in the Burton section of the website you will find my info on them... See below:
"The census shows that in 1831 there were 48 dwellings in the village, housing a population 313 residents; which works out to an average of over 6 people per property. As the population grew so too did the need for entertainment and social dwellings. An old pub in the village which has long since been demolished was known as the Earth Stopper. It was owned and ran by my great great Grandmother, 'Anne Medlicott' and husband Edward. When her husband died, Anne continued to run the inn and tend to 60 acres of farmland with her son. She later opened another public house which is today Rake Lane, was formally known as “The Royal Oak”. After her death in 1860 the Royal Oak Closed. I believe that the Medlicotts were very well known in the village of Burton, and that one of her sons; Jeremiah Medlicott was a bell ringer at St Nicholas Parish. I am looking for further information on the Medlicotts who moved to Burton from Staffordshire, which is the furthest i have been able to trace my family history. I believe the maiden name of Anne Medlicott was 'Anne Boyden'"
If you find any more info on them Motty please drop me an e mail so i can update my family history too.
