According to ons.gov there was a woman who, in the 1881 census, gave her title as the Maid of Allwork. She listed her occupation as slave and her handicap as scarcity of money. :-) |

I think it was 2/3rd of young women in service then approx. And they left service in many cases for a loveless marriage they could not escape. Very tough life. |

Whenever I have to fill census forms ect,I always put 'Dogsbody' in the relevant box, as this is what best describes my roll in life. :-( :-( :-( |
