Butch Cassidy was born Robert LeRoy Parker on April 13th, 1866 in Beaver, Utah. His parents were Mormons and his grandfather was one of the first Mormon settlers in Utah. I've heard the Butch Cassidy is from Accy myth before, but I think it's just that...a myth.

One famous Accringtonian who hasn't been mentioned here is Sir Harrison Birtwistle, the UK's foremost living classical music composer.
