I am trying to find out if on of my ancesters Annie Northedge Clarke worked at the house (manor) maybe as a servant.We have a vignette type of leaving card with the embroidered picture of Harlaxton House as it was called, given to Annie in 1870 on her leaving Harlaxton House for America.
Many thanks in anticipation Ray Northedge
Many thanks for making contact Ray. An initial search on the 1861 census does not show Annie as being at Harlaxton Manor but she may have arrived soon after and left in 1870 before the next census. How old would Annie have been in 1870, and where was she born? I would be very interested to see a photograph of the leaving card if you are able to email me one.
