Member Since: June 2004 Posts: 7 Send Message	Hi I need your help. I have a relative who was a Head Groom in a Big House. How do I locate records of his employment and wages? Any help gratefully received as this is the missing link in my family tree. Thanks in advance. Sarah

	LOL, I dont think you will locate his wages, he would have spent them a long time ago :) Yes, National Archives may be worth trawling and the records office local to the place he worked as they may have the old Estate Records.
