Hello Lynne, This is marvellous, thank you. I do appreciate your time and interest! The mystery of this house is that my 3xg grandfather seems have been the wee-est bit illigitimate and there seems to have been a little bit of conscience money paid over at some stage - ( I think it is the maid and the master story). I am trying to either prove or disporove the family stories. I have a 19th century declaration that states that my 2xg father was ' born in his father's home, Rutland House Cheltenham in 1836. I have my 3xg grandfather's death certificate that states he died at Rutland House in 1838. He was a school teacher so hardly likely to have been rolling rich. After his death the family moved to Broseely where my 3x g grandmother lived on independant means for the rest of her lifeof her life. If they did own Rutland House and sold it, this could explain how! If they didn't,then some one was handing out thepennies - so you can see why I am so interested in collecting information of the house - your assistance has helped me see that it was a place of substance!

Hi, just got in from work, but on Monday (time in the local studies permitting!! - don't always get timetabled in there) will check out the residents of the house from c.1800 onwards, see who was owning the house at least. It may have been a lodging house at some time. Will be in touch again Lynne Gillian wrote: > Hello Lynne, > > This is marvellous, thank you. I do appreciate your time and interest!
