House Painter - Marquess of Tweedale

Post by Pandabean » Fri Jan 19, 2007 12:25 am

I am just wondering would there be employment records for a House Painter working for the Marquess of Tweedale?

One of my Johnston ancestors worked there at the start of the 20th century and from a census he is down as House Painter (Estate).

Sorry I cant be more detailed than that but my laptop with all my data is away for repair so I cant get exact dates. I may be able to check up this weekend on a back up CD that I made.

Regards,
Andy

Check with NAS if any estate records have been deposited in their "Gifts & Deposits" series of records.

Try also the nearest local archive.

And there's always a possibility that a letter direct to the current Marquis might produce a result.

If there are records at NAS or a local archive be aware that it may take some time to look through all relevant material.
