Can anyone help and tell me how I can find out the names of the staff who worked at Milton Lockhart House between the years between 1900 - 1911 & 1911 - 1915. I'm trying to find out if my Grandmother was one of the tablemaids. I found her on the 1911 census in London. Her name was Jane Brown born in 1883 in Meadowflatt, Covington. She received a bible on her marriage in 1915 from Lady Lockhart.
I tried to look up a valuation roll for Lanarkshire but believe they are not available.
Hoping someone can direct me to the right place.

They are available, they are just not available online.
But save yourself the trouble. The Valuation Rolls list the proprietor, the tenant and the occupier only; that is, the heads of household. They do not list the names of other family members, let alone servants.

Evelyn, what a lovely thing to have still for your Grandmother :)
Was she working down on London by 1911? Did she marry local to Milton Lockhart House?

Milton Lockhart house was sold and removed brick by brick and now stands in Japan.
You may be interested in the bio General Sir William Stephen Alexander Lockhart Soldier of the Queen Empress.
He was David Blair's brother and there is quite a lot of info in the book about Milton.
Sir William was out in India and did not inherit it, but his son Murray did.
David and Clementina are buried in the family plot in Carluke.

Sounds like London Bridge ;)
Just curious, why was Milton Lockhart House dismantled and re-constructed in Japan?

Same reason why that bridge in London was taken down and rebuilt in Arizona, or http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/3433070 was dismantled in Japan and rebuilt in England.

I believe that the house had fallen into disrepair under the laird, Stephen Lockhart (Murray's son) and he was at the time a British diplomat stationed overseas. The house went through a period of being available for rent.
One might presume that Japanese celebrity who bought the house was in the market for something like this and property agents were able to do the necessary introductions.
In the last year or two the property has been acquired by a Scottish family and a new, rather elegant, home has been built on this site.

Thank you for the update :)
