In series six, the character returns to Downton as a married woman, although she visits the mansion only for one episode. In series four, the staff at Downton Abbey receive a letter from Gwen where she tells them she is married. She does not return in the second series and is replaced by Ethel. In August 1914 they are successful and Gwen wins a position at a telephone firm.
Lady Sybil quickly befriends Gwen and tries to help her get a job as a secretary. When her typewriter is discovered by Miss O’Brien, she informs the whole staff and Gwen’s plan to leave service to become a secretary is the cause of much discussion above and below stairs. Ambitious, she decides that she no longer wants to work in service and saves up her money to buy a typewriter to take a correspondence course in typing and shorthand. Gwen Harding (née Dawson) was a housemaid at Downton.
