Grafton Manor - Grafton Regis

[Nadine Moore]

I am trying to find out when my Grandmother came to work at Grafton Manor.
Her name was Pretoria May Adams and, I believe, she was a children's nurse/maid at the Manor prior to her marriage. I also believe she was known as May by the family.
I know she was there when she married in 1926 but do not know when she came to the area.
She was born c1901 at Swanley Junction in Kent,  and spent some time in an orphanage and possibly came from there to the Manor.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanx
Dinie
