E.g.: Harrold Hall, Bedfordshire, demolished in 1861, had the following three women listed on its 1841 census form:
The 1841 census gives an idea of the numbers of staff employed at the Hall – the tenant and his wife were away, but their daughter was present:
Elizabeth Rodel – female – Governess – not born in Bedfordshire
Elizabeth Magenis – female – 12 – not born in Bedfordshire
Jessy Roach – female – 45 – F[emale] S[ervant] – born in Scotland, Ireland or foreign parts
“Scotland, Ireland, or foreign parts” is cracking me right up.
