Hi Annie
I have been in contact with the Rothschilds archive, and they said the only info they had was that Robert was the Gamekeeper onthe 1881 census. They told me that Ascott Estate mat have the records, but they have ignored my emails thus far.

My Gt Uncle was the chauffeur for the Rothschilds at Wing after he came out of the army around 1904...Or so the family rumour goes...
As it's stupid o'clock at the mo, I'll follow the links tomos at work...

Ah well...just seemed a bit of a coincidence...Brother in law of Jane Louisa gets a job a Wing after coming out of the army...and she is a Stevens as well as the gamekeeper...

Hi
Have you tried looking for Gamekeepers' Deputations in Buckingham Archives?
I have ancestors who were gamekeepers in Northamptonshire for the Earl of Westmoreland and others. In Northampton archives found the Deputations (registers of all gamekeepers in the county who had to be licenced and sworn in every year) with lots of information, i.e., name, where they lived, status, who they worked for, the area covered, and year.
Wished I had taken a digital camera with me, I ended up with writer's cramp 
Regards
Susan

Hi everyone - I am the person behind the Wing One Place Study website you all have such kind words about. I know that Fred has already been in touch with me, but if any of you haven't been in touch and let me know who your families are in Wing then please do so, I'd love to hear from you and may even have further information for you as copyright restrictions mean I can't put everything online! I have STEVENS from Wing in my line too, but c.1800.
I'm squirrelling away all the pieces of information I can get as to who worked for the Rothschilds at Ascott and in what capacity - eventually this will make it on to the website - so I'd particularly like to hear more about those chauffeurs and the like! My ancestor allegedly worked with the polo ponies after WW1 but I haven't found evidence as yet that they even had polo at Ascott.....
Regards
Alex
