Gamekeeper - Moyes/Lidgate Yester area 1850s
« on: Sunday 13 August 06 11:17 BST (UK) »
Bits of information collated over the years have led me to believe that JOHN MOYES (born Collessie, Fife 1839) was a gamekeeper in the Yester area during the 1850s.

There are links to the LIDGATE family, who appear on the 1841 census living in Church Street, Yester.

QUESTION - Were there any stately homes/estates in the area that may have employed a gamekeeper? Would he be on record anywhere?

Any information or links to where I could look next will be gratefully received.
Many thanks,
Gill
