The first British Census taken

A warm welcome to you from the Buckinghamshire Family History Society. We are a group of over 1,500 family historians who have been helping each other for over 30 years. We are family historians who either have ancestors from Bucks or live there (or both!). Why not have a look around and see if we can help with your genealogy.

Visitors are very welcome to browse, site registration is restricted to Society members.

Cliveden -did your ancestor work there?
Written by Derek Ayshford   
We have been approached by a firm of architects working on a history of the Cliveden Estate and its cottages to see whether any of our members are related to the staff who worked there or can give any information about the life of the staff.
We know a little about the Gamekeeper , Benjamin Cooper, the Carter/gardener James Ludgate and little about a gardener, James Jeffries. Are you related to any of these or any other member of the staff who worked 'below stairs' or on the estate? If so can you let us know so that we can put you in touch. Email us
