I don't know of another series exactly like that one.
P.B. Ryan has a series set in post Civil War Boston with a governess. The first is Still Life With Murder. For Victorian era, there's Robin Paige's series featuring an American writer living in England with her husband, an English peer.
There are series that feature a housekeeper as sleuth but most of them are modern. And there are several series set during the 1800s.
Is it the time period? the household help as protagonist? or the historical British setting that you like the most? There are a number of mysteries that fall into each category but not all three.

Time period along with household help


I found a new series similar.. 2 books so far.. By Susanna Calkins.. I've read the others posted but they are not similar I'm a 66yr old avid reader of British mysteries other cozy n not so have read most. Emily Brightwell is just about my favorite next to MC Beaton.. And Ann Perry..
Here is a link to mysteries set during the 1800s

This list is not limited to cozy mysteries. Most of the mysteries set during that era have members of the peer or early detective force as main characters. I like the the Lady Julia Grey series by Deanna Raybourn.
Have you read The Thief Taker by Janet Gleeson? The protagonist is a cook in a London household. It's a historical mystery but it may be 18th century.
