Also, scullery maid. As best I can tell from the article, it just means “low ranked maid”. Some of the traditional job functions they list don’t exist anymore,

  Sort of. However, the term is pretty much tied to the staff in "great houses" where the scullery maid was usually an assistant to the kitchen maid. I imagine that somewhat similar functions (though not at the detailed level) still exist in some places but I doubt anyone would use that particular term.
