Hi Mary,

Yes, you are right.

Taken from the 1841 census:- All domestic servants may be entered as "MS" for male servants and "FS" for female servants, without statement of their particular duties, as whether Butler, groom, gardener, housekeeper, cook etc.
Later census' distiquished the jobs more.
