Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Garnett Family Papers are comprised of the correspondence, manuscripts, journals and diaries, documents, photographs, albums, and other archival materials concerning the Garnett family which were held by Richard Garnett at Hilton Hall near Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, U.K. until 2008. Correspondence and manuscript materials were organized into chronological periods of the following Garnett generations and their related families: Rev. Richard Garnett (1789-1850), Dr. Richard Garnett (1835-1906), Edward Garnett (1868-1937), and David Garnett (1892-1981). Correspondence by ancestors of spouses in each generation, e.g. members of the Black, Patten, Marston, Potts, and Singleton families, is included in the chronological sequence. Some correspondence with David Garnett’s son, Richard Garnett, written between 1981 and 2005 is also included. Within each section, letters are arranged alphabetically by family members and then by miscellaneous writers.

Additional materials: A collection of letters from Nellie (Ellen Maurice) Heath to her friend Louise Guieysse-Bréal (1872-1954) or from members of the Garnett or Heath family to Louise written between 1914 and 1951 were acquired through a special purchase in 2019. The collection was purchased at an auction that also had various items from the family of Martin and Katherine Brunt. Katherine was descended from Auguste and Louise Guieysse-Bréal (aka Louisette).
