Tall brick building: home of the Camden family for many years. Other members of the family lived in the High Street.
From at least 1833 till his death in 1849, John White Camden was the occupant. His wife Rebecca [née Reading] was left a widow with several dependent children still at home. She was a lace maker who needed poor relief to survive. She died 1874.
Tall white building: 1833 home of Thomas Bowen Senior, who had retired from running the Red Lion pub on the other side, in favour of his son Thomas Junior. Thomas Senior's 1844 will was transcribed by me on this blog previously here. See also the Bowen graves here
After his death, the premises were a grocery shop. More on the grocers of these premises in the future.
Little cottage with red door: 1833 home of William Allum- multiple Marlow individuals bore this name at the same time so caution! Then in 1841 the Fry family headed by servant William and his wife Phoebe occupied the cottage. See their graves here.

I (Charlotte)have identified historic occupancy of buildings in some streets in Marlow by cross referencing property surveys, photographs, censuses (though they often do not visit properties in order sadly), wills, court cases and more. It is a big task. There will be more to say about these and other properties. Some have occupancies that can be traced to the 1700s.
