Sybil was the wife
of Sir
William
Eden, and mother of Elfrida
Marjorie Eden (1887-1943). Marjorie
[or Miss Eden] is the subject of the
rare watercolor
portrait you already have on your site (I believe it dates
from1905).
Marjorie married Guy, Lord Brooke, in 1909, and became Countess of
Warwick in 1924.
Notes:
