Frances Ireland aged 20 b1821. She is in Richmond Surrey. I have found her but would like another pair of eyes to confirm her occupation please. I think it's F S for female servant but stand corrected if someone says otherwise.
Thanks

The head of house is living on independant means and with all those servants it must have been quite a place!

Thank you all so much. It's wonderful when something you find as a snippet of info leads to something much bigger and fills a gap in the family search. Laptop - I hadn't looked at the head of the house. It will teach me to look more closely and on using your advice I found her future hubby who was lodging at her parents in 1841.
Thanks again

Laptop - after 2 years I now do this!! Also realised in the last 2 days that most of the family I am looking for lived in an area of about 4 streets but didn't know until I saw the streets on a map aas to how close they all were.
