Volume 7, page 71. sitting number 8531.

Identified on the album page as ‘Amy Mainwaring / youngest daughter of above,’ this is Amicia Mainwaring, daughter of George Mainwaring (1790-1865) of the Indian Civil Service. Her mother was Isabelle née Byers, daughter of Lieutenant-General Byers.

She and her parents appear on the 1861 census, living at 17 Gloucester Crescent North in Paddington. At the time of the census, Amicia was 15 years old, so she was born in or about 1846. Her parents were 69 and 61 respectively, so she was almost certainly the last of their children. She was born in Blandford Square, Marylebone.

Amicia Mainwaring never married. She appears on the 1901 census, aged 55, ‘living on [her] own means’ at Parkstone in Dorset.

She died at St Denys, Poole Road, Bournemouth on 24 November 1924, leaving an estate valued at £375. She was buried at Branksome Park in Dorset on 25 November 1924.
