A carte-de-visite portrait of the Honourable Mrs. A. Sartoris (1830-1913).

Born Hon. Mary Frances Barrington, her father was William Keppel Barrington, 6th Viscount Barrington of Ardglass. She married Alfred Urban Sartoris of the 7th Hussars on 28 October 1856. The couple had four sons.

The family appear on the 1861 census, living at 64 Rutland Gate, London. The house was staffed by eight servants. Alfred Sartoris gave ‘Fundholder’ for his profession. His wife described herself as a ‘Peer’s Daughter’. At the time of the census she was 30 years old, so was born in or about 1831. According to the International Genealogical Index, she was born on 1 June 1830 at Ardglass in County Down, although she gave ‘London’ as her place of birth on the census.

Hon. Mrs. Alfred Sartoris died on 11 October 1913 at her home, 17 Queen's Gate Place, London.
