Miss Flora Buckle
(1840-1927)

[This portrait does not appear in the Silvy daybooks, so the sitter probably visited the studio between July 1863 and June 1864, the period covered by the missing volume of the daybooks.]

Miss Flora Catherine Buckle appears on the 1861 census, aged 20, living with her father, Matthew Hughes George Buckle, a clergyman and private tutor, at the Vicarage, Edlingham, Northumberland. 

On 15 April 1869 at Edlingham in Northumberland she became the second wife of widower George Marmaduke Darley Waddilove.

The couple appear on the 1871 census living at Brunton House near Wall in Northumberland. Mrs Waddilove had eight servants to run her household. Mr Waddilove gave as his profession 'Retired Major Bengal Army, Magistrate and Landowner.' 

George Waddilove died on 6 March 1887. His widow continued living at Brunton House for many years. She was still living there with her step-son George Hope Waddilove when the 1911 census was taken. 

Flora Catherine Waddilove died, aged 86, at Brunton on 5 December 1927. She left an estate valued at £12,673. She was buried beside her husband in the churchyard of St John Lee at Hexham in Northumberland.
