I'm pretty sure Mrs. Fairfax knew, and Leah, and probably the other servants.
Mrs. Fairfax would have had to have known as the keeper of stores and her evasive at times bespoke of guilty knowledge. I even think her first tour of the house with Jane
which included a trip to the roof was a deliberate plan to get Jane into earshot of Bertha, display Grace, and account for them before Jane indulged in private speculation about the nutty laugh or went exploring on her own.
