    With a bit of work this might pass for a butler:

    No top hat, plus change the suit texture to black and the shirt texture to white. A bow tie would look better than a normal tie though.

    There is also this:

    and this contains a suit and waist coat with a bow tie:

    For the stable boy then maybe the tiny tim set, although it is only available via the holiday havoc bundle here:

    Other options are:

    H&C's waiter outfit for G2M that showed up in the store a few weeks ago would make a good base. Needs a coat though.

    trying to understand what a livery means. thought it might be a family crest on fancy buttons, but seems to be just a name for the uniform.

    That'a right. The colors were often associated with the employer's coat of arms, if he had one. Thew meaning of the term shifted over the years.

    I was fascinated to learn a lot of sevants were in fact poorer nobles from impovished families or relatives not as I imagined villagers who managed to get a good job.

    Oh, yeah, the ladies and gentlemen in waiting. Royalty was served by the nobility. The Nobility (and trickling down to middle classes) was served by poor relations. Certainly in positions of responsibility like stewards and estate agents, and ladies "companions". Lower positions were generally filled by the lower orders (once properly trained).
