Edward,
Thanks for your email,
My mother is 96 and as far as we know her father was an employee at Barrels Hall in1913. She often wonders who he was.
 My Great Grandfather was head gardener at the Hall at that time .We think my grandmother was in service somewhere else and must have become pregnant on a visit home ,she was 16/17 . The family never talked about it .
 A cousin told us that Great Granfather asked for the father to be sacked but the owner of the Hall  refused ,In view of this we think he must have been a high up member of staff and highly regarded by the owner . G G left his job and the tied house which they lived in.So it was a life changing event inl ots of ways
 Mother thinks she was fostered with someone in Leamington Spa but nothing definate, before coming to live with her mother when she married.
It would be nice to find some information but I think we have an impossible task.
I am going through family photos if I find any of Barrels I will forward them to you,
Thank you G P

I am trying to find my unknown  grandfather   who may have been employed at Barrels Hall in 1913.
 Anyone know any descendants of servants at Barrels Hall ?
My grandmother was Annie Pottle.

Annette , Thank you so much for your promt reply, will try your suggestions. We have left it a bit late but my Mother is thinking a  lot about who her father might have been.
She will be encouraged by your success.

I am interested in Barrels Hall ,Ullenhall around 1914. My Great Grandfather was head gardener there at that time. I would like to know if there was any one called Goodway who also worked there at the same time. George pottle
