Hi Georgina I understood 'monthly' was a Nurse that only worked for the first month when a child was born. My youngest in the family was listed as 1 year. Still not sure what the 'S' was for though. Racking my brains and coming up with silly suggestions now! Penny |

Was there such an official title in the 1800's? Perhaps someone in the family was pregnant thanks for that. Penny |
