Hi All,
I have a character in my new project who is a stable boy on a country estate. His position includes room and board. He is seventeen-years old. Does anyone know what his annual wage would be in the year 1800?
I have seen conflicting info. In some research books and online sources it says 25 pounds and others 11 pounds. In a recent romance novel, however, it has a stable boy who makes three pounds a year. This is a pretty broad range!
If anyone has any knowledge on this, it would be much appreciated! Thanks
