    3. Hi, I'm new to this list and I'm hoping that someone with local knowledge of The Green area of Richmond can answer a couple of questions for me. I've found my ggGrandfather, Owen OWEN a butler, on the 1861 census living at 3 Maid of Honour Row. The rest of the household were all servants, a ladies maid, a house maid and a nurse maid. At the adjacent property, Heidigger House, was a civil engineer, his wife & daughter, a housemaid and a cook. Would I be right in thinking that 3 Maid of Honour Row was being used as servant's quarters for the employees of Heidigger House? Secondly, being the only male servant of the household, is it likely that the butler would have accompanied his employer on his travels? Thanks in advance Robin Bookham.
