Staffordshire / Re: Trentham Hall Estate Buildings
« on: Saturday 27 July 13 22:52 BST (UK) »
My great great grandparents worked at Trentham. He was a kennel man called Thomas Cox and is recorded in the 1881 census as living in the hunt stables and in 1891 in the old gas house. His wife was Hannah and the family story is that she was housekeeper although I have no evidence of this. It seems unlikely that a housekeeper would be married to a kennel man! He was supposed to have been killed by a horse but I have no details of this other than family memories.
Other than census returns, all I have from this family is the picture attached below which is supposed to be of the house they lived in. Does anyone know which building it is? there is a reference earlier in this thread to half timbered houses on the estate. I'd be grateful for any information at all.
