Mrs Ker Seymer
(1819-1874)

Volume 1, page 4, sitting number 19.

The previous entry in the daybooks is Mr Henry Ker Seymer, so this is almost certainly his wife, Isabella Helen (née Webber), whom he married on 4 July 1839. Her husband was the MP for Dorset.

According to the 1861 census, she was born at Bordeaux in France.

She appears on the 1871 census living at 27 Beaufort Gardens in Kensington. She had six servants to run her household, including a butler and a footman.

She died, aged 55, on 18 May 1874 at 27 Beaufort Gardens, Kensington. She left an estate valued at £1500.
