Inhabitants | Great Packington One

Inhabitants/House History WIP

This page is a work in progress and I plan to go back through all census returns, electoral rolls, newspaper clippings etc to identity the occupants of the historic buildings of Great Packington. Maiden names/biographical detail/familial relationships will also be identified. The plan is then to put together house/building histories about the residents over time, a la Professor David Olusoga. Here's my start!
