Photo's of staff at Southwick Hall
« on: Wednesday 04 February 09 15:28 GMT (UK) »
Hi All
I'm hoping someone may be able to tell me if there any surviving records or phot'os of staff of the hall.
My 3xgt-grandfather Edward Kirby lived at Southwick between 1871-1894 & was a gardener. The census shows him as living near the church & Hall, so I am presuming that he worked at the Hall.
Visited the village last weekend & would love to go back when the Hall is open.
Thanks Lynn

I was lucky enough to visit Southwick Hall many years ago, and it was a fascinating place.
As they have a website, why not contact them direct about records and/or photos?

You could also email the archivist at the Northampton Record Office

Hi Jen
Thanks for the link to Southwick Hall, have e-mailed them.
Have had a look at Northampton record office & they do have some info on the Capron family & Southwick so may be worth a shot.
Regards Lynn

Hi, really liked Jen's link on Southwick Hall ( SOUNDS GOOD ABOUT 13/9/09!!! ) Did you know Lynn that the little cottages along the main street used to also belong to the Hall some of the workers lived in them (I believe the Hall still Owen some of them cottages still today) regards Nipy
