The Honourable Mrs Tremayne
(1842-1917)
25 October 1860

[This image does not appear in the Silvy daybooks, but given that the set is so similar to that in her husband's portrait, this photograph was probably taken as part of Mr Tremayne's sitting. The vase seen on the Elizabethan bookcase only appears in a few portraits in the daybooks, for a brief period between 17 October and 25 October 1860.]

Mary Charlotte Martha Vivian was the daughter of Charles Crepsigny Vivan, 2nd Baron Vivian, and his second wife, Mary Elizabeth Panton; she was born in 1842 at Plas Gwyn, Pentraeth, Anglesey, North Wales.

On 13 November 1860, she married John Tremayne of Heligan near St Austell in Cornwall. The marriage produced two sons, Perys Edmund (born 1866, died 1867), and John Claude Lewis, born 1869, and three daughters, Onera Mary Georgina (born 1861), Harriet Maud (born 1863), and Grace Damaris (born 1864).

The Honourable Mrs Tremayne died, aged 75, at Mount Tryon in Torquay on 30 October 1917. She left an estate valued at £10,543.
