It is always rather lovely to find images of former occupants of a house! The house in Buckinghamshire was occupied by this couple from 1907 to 1920 πŸ˜€ #househistory #househistories #history

Having fun completing the history of the house in Buckinghamshire! I have reached 1905 when the occupant was the grandson of Admiral Sir George Westphal, who had been a midshipman on HMS Victory with Nelson during the Battle of Trafalgar!! #househistory #househistories

Setting off for another day in the Buckinghamshire archives! Having fun with this #househistory as there are almost no related records prior to the late 18th century! 😳 #househistories

Having fun getting back to the next #househistory project in Buckinghamshire! Set to be a fun one where the house has seen a lot of changes over the years but the house dates back to at least the C18th and possibly C17th! πŸ˜€ #househistories
