My maternal grandmother worked as a domestic at a large house called Fawnlees hall near Wolsingham in co. Durham. I guess that she would have been there around 1919 when she was 18. Where would I look to see if any ledgers of staff or other records were kept? I was wondering if anybody has any experience, ideas, or tips for researching such things? I have googled & found a little info. on the house, reportedly a Grade II listed building and that one of the Pet Shop Boys brought it in the 90s! I know this is a long shot but just another facet of family history I am trying to delve into. |
