Their children were born in the East Indies, in London and in India. Her husband worked in India as an engineer and administrator for the British Army, specialising in building bridges. In 1889 he was quarter-master general for India.
Her husband’s address when he died in 1896, was ‘the Residency at Quetta, Baluchistan’, which was then in India (now in Pakistan) even though he actually died in Kensington. He was buried in Brompton Cemetery.
