Whenever we come across a mention of an individual with a profession attached in a will, property deed/description, etc etc we note it down. This directory is the result, but is not yet anywhere near complete online.
Dates are the earliest or only reference and the last for a person of this name practicing that specific occupation. Servants are not included as there are too many to list. To find all mentions of an individual or family here, use the A-Z Person Index in the top drop down menu. Bear in mind that many people had more than one profession and because of the habit of repeating generations using the same names, not all "John Smith, labourer" are necessarily the same person. Spellings are uncorrected from the original source material. All the below are referred as being resident or "of Great Marlow" unless stated otherwise but the wealthier may have had more than one place of residence.
