Deb, the best way to see what they did is to read their obituaries, one of least I thought had been published on this list. If not I'll try and find it for ...

Mike, I'd be interested in the census return you mentioned and any you did not mention as well! I'm fairly sure the Liddell kids visited the museum with LC but...
Last time I looked the Dodo was in the Natural History Museum, not the Science Museum.... Great Works of literature which feature Dodos: Alice in Wonderland ...

Colin, I visited Guildford last Fall (I live in the US), and no, the house isn't open to the public. I'm sure others on this list that are more local, or who...

You should definitely visit Guildford. The cemetery is lovely (although quite walk uphill), and of course a visit to 'The Chestnuts' is mandatory. Also, it's a...

Thanks to both Keith and JL for the information. The trouble with the information from the museum is that it isn't firsthand - it's probably just taken from...
I don't have the census, Karoline does, but I will ask her for it. In the meantime, my recollection is that there were two or three maids plus a cook resident...
