Identified on the album page as 'Mrs H.R. Aikman' and in the Silvy daybooks as ‘Mrs. H.H.A. Aikman,’ this is probably the wife of Hugh Henry Robertson Aikman.

Hugh Henry Robertson Aikman appears on the 1861 census staying at the home of his father-in-law, Thomas Stokes, a magistrate for the County of Leicestershire living at New Parks. Aikman described himself as a ‘Magistrate for the County of Lanark’ and a ‘Landed Proprietor.’ He had married Stokes’s daughter, Mary Joyce Stokes, at St. James’s, Westminster on 21 September 1858. She died on 24 January 1877.
