    It won't be Crawfie in this film as it was made in 1931 and she joined the York's household in 1932. She was also a very young woman at that point, and an older woman is shown in the film pushing the pram.

    https://www.tatler.com/article/marion-crawfie-crawford-queen-governess-memoir-scandal shows a picture of Crawfie taken several years later and clearly a different woman.
