Hello
Does anyone know if there are any records of servants who worked at Windsor Castle ?
I am looking in particular for a Richard Woolhouse who may have worked there circa 1800 - 1817
Happy New Year all
Dean :) :)

Hi Dean,
I wrote to them a while back about one of my ancestors and received a very nice - and quick - reply. They hadn't found anything as it looks as if my ancestor must have ben a 'casual' worker in the King's kitchen rather than on the actual payroll, but I'm sure they'll look for your Richard and let you know.
Probably best to enclose an s.a.e.

I have made two enquiries regarding relatives employed at Windsor and had two prompt positive responses.

Hello - I know this was a LONG time ago, but I have an ancestor that worked at Windsor the same time your Mr. Woolhouse did. His name was James Merrick. Did you find yours? They may have known each other!
