Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Historic Heroines, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

"Miss Malcomson and Lady Clodagh on steps" says the title at the NLI. I think Miss Malcomson is the one on the right with the sausage dog due to this - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000591180 Ed. And might be called 'Clodagh' from this - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000715343

Lady Clodagh being Lady Clodagh Beresford, whose sister has featured before:

Ooo - were they sisters ? "Misses Malcomson in Trap" - catalogue.nli.ie/Record/vtls000591181

Sharon Corbet Aha! I have not been keeping up !

From the peerage dot com: Lady Clodagh Beresford was born on 6 August 1879. She was the daughter of John Henry de la Poer Beresford, 5th Marquess of Waterford and Lady Blanche Elizabeth Adelaide Somerset. She married Hon. Claud Anson, son of Thomas George Anson, 2nd Earl of Lichfield and Lady Harriett Georgiana Louisa Hamilton, on 27 February 1901. She died on 17 April 1957 at age 77.1 Her married name became Anson. So if this is 1901+ per the catalog, she is most likely Clodagh Anson here.
