How old would you have to be to start working as a servant in downton times? I was looking at the info for Thomas and it says his birth date is 1896 so wouldn't that make him 14 Or 15 when he started working there in 1910? I was just wondering if that would be the minimum age back then for working as a junior footman or as another servant. And how old would Thomas have been at the beginning of the series?
