In 1911, both daughters were at home and there were a mere 11 servants at The Palace Lichfield, Lichfield the Close, Staffordshire; Fanny declared she had had four children all of whom were alive. Her sister Eleanor, recently widowed and with her youngest child, already 21, was visiting if only to get away from the stresses of the lack of her husband and his impecunious end. Harriet Mylson (the third version of her surname but the form actually says ‘Mylam’, agreeing with 1901) the nurse in 1891 was still housekeeper and a young 69; page 2 of the forms was signed by ‘Augustus Lichfield’ and the house had 38 rooms:
