The couple retired to Bordighera, Italy, where they lived at the Hotel Londra for several years, but returned to England (via France, Spain and Portugal) in 1942. Final years spent in Bournemouth, where they are buried.
A gifted amateur photographer and painter. A number of her photographs were also hand-tinted. Photogravure of the ‘Kyaungdwyn Pagodahm, Upper Burmah’ by F.M. Muriel, ‘a lady correspondent in Burma’, used as the illustration to the April 1899 issue of The Journal of the Photographic Society of India (vol.
