Miss Musgrave
(1836-1901)
30 April 1862

Volume 6, page 252, sitting number 7879.

Identified only as 'Miss Musgrave' in the Silvy daybooks, this is almost certainly Miss Agnes Musgrave, the second daughter of Sir George Musgrave, 10th Baronet of Edenhall. Her older sister Caroline had married in 1859, so when this portrait was taken in 1862, Agnes would have been the oldest unmarried daughter in the family and thus entitled to call herself 'Miss Musgrave' without a preceding name or initial.

When the census was taken in 1861 she was living with her parents at Eden Hall in Cumberland. Also present on the night of the census were her younger sister Sophia, her brother Richard and twenty servants. 

On 19 June 1862, two months after this portrait was taken, Agnes married her first cousin, Reverend Malise Reginald Graham. [His portrait by Silvy appears on page 26 of this section.]

The couple appear on the 1881 census at 12 Chapel Street in London's Belgravia with their two daughters and three servants. Reverend Graham gave as his profession 'Rector of Arthuret, Cumbrland.'

According to a monumental inscription in the parish church of Arthuret in Cumberland, Agnes Graham was born on 3 August 1836 and died on 12 March 1901. 

She left an estate valued at £1840.
