Hello

I'm researching the Bamford family, particularly associated as gamekeepers at Ashridge Park. i've got as far as Thomas Bamford, born 1788 in Rutland - wife unknown. Can anyone help, anyone researching this family who'd like to share information?

thanks

I believe that during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries gamekeepers had to have a licence from the quarter sessions, which were published annually in local newspapers.

It might be worth enquiring at HALS about your gamekeeper ancestors.
