Glad you enjoyed them! I got the original paperback of Sorcery & Cecelia way back when, and it's stayed with me ever since, along with the hardbacks of the sequels and now the ebooks.

I would also suggest reading the Mairelon the Magician series (also a Regency setting) and the College of Magic series and the the Frontier Magic series. The latter is more pseudo-Victorian set in N America, the former is more Edwardian set in England and mittel-Europe. All are very good. If you can track down a copy of The Serpent's Egg, it probably uses the same world-building, but is more Tudor. It's possible one of the minor characters in that is the ancestor of the hero of Magic Below Stairs.
