Servants wages in the late Georgian Era I have been trying to find out the average wages of servants in the Georgian era, which has proved more difficult than anticipated. The newspapers of the day carried numerous adverts by employers for potential employees and vice versa. Employers were quite clear about the skill set needed, as were candidates advertising their services, but none stipulated the financial terms upon which they would be employed. London Lives website provides some clues to the average wages received by employees, but sadly their role within a household rarely appeared, the majority were simply terms 'servant' as we can see with these - https://georgianera.wordpress.com/2025/01/06/servants-wages-in-the-late-georgian-era/
