Summary
Mary Ann Ashford presents the early life of a licensed victualler’s daughter, beginning with her decision to describe her own history after seeing a fictional servant story advertised in London. She traces her family background through her father’s apprenticeship and work in trade, then turns to her mother’s Scottish parents and the difficulties that followed her grandfather’s financial suretyship and death. The account sets out the circumstances of the family before the author’s own service years and later life are introduced.
