DOWNES House, Crediton, Devon
« on: Wednesday 22 November 17 08:22 GMT (UK) »
Is it possible to find out if Mary Mounce was a housemaid at Downes House in about 1770?
Thank you

The simplest way would be to contact the present owners

Being realistic - I would very much doubt that staff records from almost 250yrs ago would still be available

Fair enough. But this site has helped me with all sorts of weird questions -  and you never know who might be out there to help. Thanks for your input anyway. Happy searching
