I think it was my great, great grandmother, Eliza Agnes Rook (nee Prosser) who was the cook there but I'm not sure whether it was her, her daughter or her mother. (Her mother was also Elizabeth and Mrs. Rook as she married my great-great grandfather's brother when she was a widow). Though I know that one of the definitely worked in the Speech House as the cook they are of an earlier generation, my great-great grandmother being born in the 1830s, sadly the newspaper article, which I found again a while ago, related to another relative's service as a housekeeper in the Mannesman Tube Company in Swansea.
