Isabella Smith Domestic Servant- Fasque

[sss65]

I am trying to find out if there are any records of Domestic servants employed at Fasque during the time that PM William Ewart Gladstone visited his brother Thomas who had inherited the estate from his father. Approx- 1880-1889
I would really like to know if the stories passed down the family about her working there when he visited are true.

The house itself has been sold for use as a hotel, but I think the estate is still owned by the Gladstone family. Perhaps you could contact the estate office.

I see that Isabella was not working at Fasque at the time of the 1881 or 1891 census.

Thanks for the reply. She was listed on the census for 1881 as a Domestic servant and was living in Fettercairn which is very close to Fasque.
