Our blog specialises in the period up to 1920. However we are making efforts to expand the blog to better include material we have gathered from the later 1920s, 1930s and 1940s. Not every post that mentions this time period is listed here, only those where the 1920s or later form a significant part of the post content. To look for all posts featuring any individual use the A-Z Person Index.
Posts containing the 1920s / 30s (or earlier) occupants of any individual named house, pub or farm are best searched for by looking at This Index. We will be working to expand any posts which currently are without 1920s or 1930s information so that they will have this.
Grave photos and transcriptions, some with other additional research, for those dying in the 1920s or 1930s as well as earlier can be searched on the Graves Index. At the time of writing there are posts showing the 1920s graves of 28 Marlow individuals plus 2 for Bisham and 3 for Hurley. For 1930s deaths we have 9 Marlow individuals (with another 2 due to be published this year) and 1 each for Bisham and Hurley. There are 8 graves from the 1940s, all in Marlow. We have some more but we haven't had chance to upload them.
