Thank you for those links, the second one http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/salop/vol10/pp213-220   I have only just started to read but found some interesting bits of information, especially relevant to when my ancestors were living there, a farm bailiff (Walter Scott 1791-1869, lived in Badger from the 1830's and died there), his wife, and at least nine children.   "Badger Farm, a large improved set of buildings north of the village, was built c. 1810" was probably where my ancestor was bailiff, and "In 1835 there was a parish lending library provided by the lady of the manor. It was probably due to the lord of the manor's influence that there was no public house in the parish in the 19th and 20th centuries" would have affected that family a lot, and shows the kind of gentry who affected their lives.
