"Seamstress to the Queen"
I believe that your ancestor who is said to be a "Seamstress to the Queen" as mine was may not actually have worked for the Queen but have been indentured as a seamstress.
I have found indenture papers for my great grandmother and wonder if the level reached on completing this apprenticeship was described as "Seamstress to the Queen" I think I know where she served this apprenticeship and am investigating with the Heritage centre in the town in Ireland.
When I emailed them they were interested enough to to ring me back and give me some follow up contacts which I am now following.
If you like to contact me I will keep you up with developments. Ted Davidson
