My great grandfather's first wife was living/staying with her mother before her marriage in 1851. She was listed as being a "servant out of place". Could someone enlighten me please as to what this means, on leave or out of a job? Vivien Palmer

Hello Vivien, Looks very much like "Out Of Work" - but 'spun' a bit.... The impression is that she was "Actively Seeking"....
