Hi You will find records of Gamekeepers in Quarter Sessions Records at the County Record Office. My ancestor was a gamekeeper in Northamptonshire. I contacted the Archivist at the Northants RO and she sent me all that they had onfile for him. For a fee of course. I was very pleased with the result. It told me who his employers were and gave places and dates.
