It is very difficult to find home or business addresses for anyone in the 1700s so all references are precious! Look too at my post on 1700s Chapel Street people here as the two roads are a continuation of one another and our Marlow ancestors made no effort to properly distinguish between them. They sometimes used "Chapel Street" or "Chapel End" to refer to the entirety of Spittal Street and Chapel Street and vice versa.
John Carter - tenant of a cottage 1721-31. A man of this name was sentenced to death for highway robbery in 1730 but a public appeal lead to a reprieve. More on this here.
Anne Garnett - widow tenant of house 1700. This came with a plot of land and barn but she may not have had access to them as the barn at least previously had been separately occupied from the house.
John Gibbons - tenant of a cottage 1721. Gone by 1731.
William Gunnell - owner and occupier of cottage 1710. He also owned the cottage next door occupied by Peter Silver. Wife Mary. I don't seem to have recorded his baptism when I looked at the original parish records but Find My Past has a Bishops Transcript record of a "William Gonnell" baptised 1674 to a William and Elizabeth which MAY be the baptism of this William him https://www.findmypast.co.uk/transcript?id=GBPRS%2FBUCKINGHAMSHIRE%2FBAP%2F000823538. A William Gu(n)nell senior died at Marlow in 1727 and a William junior in 1760. Probable marriage of William of Chapel Street is to Mary Wye 1705 Great Marlow .
Robert Malday - tenant of a house 1761.
John Phillips - tenant of a property 1721.
J Phillips - could be same as above. Paid £4 a year rent in 1731 for his cottage in Spittal Street. Next door to the property John Phillips above was in earlier. A John Phillips lived in a "Chapel Street" property owned by Abel Bird in his 1733 will. This may be the same property due to the perpetual confusion between Spittal Street and Chapel Street in the past. A John Phillips was an innholder in Marlow 1742 but Phillips was a common last name so the two Johns may not be the same man or even closely related.
1710 Peter Silver, gauger. A tenant of a cottage 1710. Next door neighbour of the Gunnells. Probably died this year.
William Weedon tenant of a property 1717.
