Hi Heywood I should have been more than happy to be able to follow one Emma Knight around the country let alone two who worked together, Emma senior the ladies maid and general servant in Swaylands House, Penshurst and her daughter Emma Jane the Nurse at Belgrave Square later on she too went off to Swaylands.
The Drummonds must have been out on the night of that census possibly travelling abroad with theyre children as theyre not shown on the 1901 census for Belgrave Square perhaps they were at theyre bank house in Charing Cross as you said no 17.
They were bankers in a very old London bank which was used by royalty of the time and seem to have been born in Stanmore Middlesex inter marrying with the Manners family at various points. I suppose that explains Drummonds at Belvoir on 1871 and in Knipton at the Drummond household. George James Drummonds wife was Elizabeth Cecile Drummond nee Norman whose mother was Adeliza Norman nee Manners she married Reverend Norman He was the rector at Bottesford the ancient family church and tangled up in the Manners family too. There are also these combinations at Belvoir census a Robert Norman Manners cousin,an Alfred Manners Drummond, Elizabeth Fredericka Drummond nee Manners- Charles Manners- Duke of Rutlands sister and George Manners brother of Charles Manners DoRutland.
I found that the english aristocracy seemed to make dynastic marriages amongst themselves so can be quite intertwined genetically. Although the Drummonds seem a very kindly family to have kept the two Emmas on long after they were nurse and a ladies maid.
