Lowther Castle Staff Lists - James Sneath 1850s?
« on: Sunday 12 April 09 01:08 BST (UK) »
Hi - does anyone know of any staff lists for Lowther Castle for the mid 19th century. I am looking for a any mention of James Sneath born 1818 in Rutland and possibly at the South Castle Inn, Lowther by 1861. He could have worked for the Duke of Rutland at Belvoir Castle before moving to Westmoreland.

Many thanks,

Jens

Hi - many thanks for all your replies. I do have all the census entries for James, I was looking to see if he moved from Rutland to Cumbria because of the connection with the hunt (the Lonsdales of Lowther rode with the Cottesmore Hunt). I have dropped the record office a line to see if they have anything.

Thanks again,

Jenny
