Title Help

In reply to:

Hi there! I have been searching for ages to find a drama that I watched in school, back in 2006 when I was 11 and studying about Victorians, so I have a feeling it miiight be by BBC. I think the drama also either looked cheaply made or was slightly dated. Also, I have looked to see if it could have been Downstairs upstairs, and I don't think it was that.

It was about a maid who was wrongly accused for stealing when another maid lied and told on her for something she actually did herself, resulting for the main character to lose her job. (I think she stole jewelry and hid it and the main character found it) She was on the streets for some time before meeting a photographer. Towards the end, I think she married him and they went on to have children. (it could have been a baby, I'm not really sure)

The maid who accused her ended up losing her job too when they found out that actually SHE had been the one to steal and there was a scene where the main character (the one with the photographer) found the maid on the streets with nothing. Then the main character's child (or baby) was in the road or something when they were talking and the woman saved them as a horse came and she sacrificed herself, getting ran over before telling the main character she was sorry for accusing her of stealing before she died. (Parts might be a bit wrong but that was the basic story)

I do remember very clearly a scene where the photographer was showing the main character how to use the telephone because it was a new invention at the time and she was afraid of it because how new it all was.

Thanks for looking and any suggestions of what this could be would be greatly appreciated! This whole site is such a fantastic idea.
