Hi Robyn On my website there's a profile of brickmaking, specifically in Wing but it does include some more generic information about the occupation and there are some links to other useful websites and books on this topic. http://www.wing-ops.org.uk/brickmaking.html Regards Alex in Auckland NZ Visit the Wing One Place Study at http://www.wing-ops.org.uk/ ----- Original Message ---- From: R. Nesbitt <rknesbitt@bigpond.com.au> To: BUCKS@rootsweb.com Sent: Friday, 25 September, 2009 9:27:39 PM Subject: [BKM] Gunthorpe and brickmaking in Bucks Hi I am researching the Gunthorpe (Guntrup, Guntrip and many other variations) family from Buckinghamshire. It seems that the majority of the males were involved in brickmaking as their occupation. Could any lister help me as to where I could try to get information on this occupation in the 1850's to 1880's in Buckinghamshire. Is there a Buckinghamshire newspaper for 1880's online? Thank you in advance Robyn *************************************** BGS Website: http://www.bucksgs.org.uk/ BFHS Website: http://www.bucksfhs.org.uk/ Bucks Genuki Website: http://met.open.ac.uk/genuki/big/eng/BKM/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to BUCKS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
