Re: Any help appreciated
Some employers wouldn't take on married women as servants so they may have lied about their status to get the job. Also there may have been a separation, even a divorce. Someone in that position may have been viewed as untrustworthy of employment so again they may have lied about their situation.
Currently investigating the Hillmans of Sussex.
