Identified as 'Mrs Holland Corbett' in the Silvy daybooks, this is probably the wife of Corbett Holland Corbett of Admington Hall near Stratford-on-Avon. 

According to his obituary in the Banbury Guardian (8 March 1906): 'A brilliant horseman and keen sportsman has passed away in the death of Mr Corbett Holland-Corbett, which took place at Bletchley on Saturday at an advance age. For many years no man was better known with the Warwickshire and neighbouring packs than Mr Holland-Corbett, who succeeded to the Admington estates, near Stratford-on-Avon, when a young man. After leaving Admington he hunted from Leamington and Banbury, making his headquarters the White Lion Hotel here. He is frequently mentioned in "The Annals of the Warwichshire Hunt," where his prowess in the field is amply recognised. [...] His first wife was a Canadian lady, and he married as his second wife a daughter of the late Mr George Wade, of Tadmarton.'

He appears on the 1861 census living at Admington House in Cheltenham with his wife Louisa Holland Corbett. Born Louisa Elmslie in London, not Canada, in or about 1811, she married Corbett Holland [sic] on 5 March 1829 at St Mary's in Cheltenham. 

Mrs Louisa Holland Corbett 'late of Admington Hall in the County of Gloucester' died on 5 April 1870 at Admington House, Cheltenham. She left an estate valued at £6000.
