Do you have any knowledge of Bagshot people & families?

This is the index to several pages provided as a vehicle for posting questions related to Bagshot people and families that other readers might be able to answer. Please scroll down to the message pad to ask a question or provide an answer. 

If you are seeking genealogical information about your ancestors then look at the page entitled "looking for your roots" where I tell you where the old church records are archived, and offer some further suggestions and information sources to help your search. I am not able to provide any information from such old records or to conduct research on your behalf.

A valuable resource for researching local families and obtaining historical background information is teh archives held by Surrey Heath Museum.

I have another page for general questions about Bagshot and also a page for memories of Bagshot past.

Surrey Heath Museum

Phil Stevens tells us that informtion about local people can often be found in the documents held at Surrey Heath Museum. Quite apart from finding out correct answers, the museum deserves to be supported as the collective memory of the Borough because without support it could very well be closed.

These people are not Bagshot, but are families I am interested in tracing through the 1800's and their descendants:

• Bartlett from the Shepton Mallet / Midsomer Norton and Wedmore areas of Somerset
• John Bliss who visited Russia in about 1865.
• John Brown and James Brown (of London and Kingston)
• Godley from Lincolnshire and Lancashire
• Limbird from Lincolnshire
• Lye from the Shepton Mallet / Midsomer Norton area of Somerset
• Parnaby from Yorkshire in the early 1800's
• Todd from Yorkshire
• Warne originally from Norfolk
• Watson from the Wakefield and Leeds area.

Royal archives

Several people have written to me seeking information about people who were in Royal service in Bagshot Park, Windsor Castle, or elsewhere.  Adrian tells us:

For all questions concerning access to the Royal Archives, please refer to www.royal.gov.uk/output/page2559.asp

There is at least some information available in the Royal Archives about people who were "in service" (as domestic staff, gardeners and the like) in Royal households. Based on a personal enquiry some years ago, I believe there is relatively little about those employed at Bagshot Park.
