Margaret Swan's tumbler

I understand (from Margaret's granddaughter, Marjorie Hemmings) that this tumbler was given to Margaret when she was in service (i.e. probably between 1863 and 1875) to commemorate a special occasion for the family for which she worked.
Marjorie Hemmings thought she worked at Cliveden; if this is correct the family in question may have been the Grosvenors.

To make matters worse in confirming / disproving this, I have not managed to find Margaret or her father etc. in the 1861 census, nor Margaret in 1871, despite extensive searching.
