Timeline edit

1889 November 12, Wentworth Canning Blackett Beaumont and Lady Aline (Alexandrina Louise Maud) Vane-Tempest married.[3]

1897 July 2, Mr. and Lady A. Beaumont attended the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball. (He was #468 and she was #356 in the list of people who attended.)

1899 February 25, the Gentlewoman published this report about Lady Aline Beaumont:

Lady Aline Beaumont, of Bywell Hall.

A sister of the present Marquis of Londonderry, Lady Aline Beaumont married Mr. Wentworth Beaumont some nine years ago, and speedily made herself popular in the North by her gentle and charming manner. She has hunted with the Tynedale for eight years, but only three days a week owing to the fact that Bywell is not very well situated for several of the meets. This year Lady Aline is hunting four days a week with the Bicester and Grafton, since Bywell is closed for extensive alterations. Lady Aline is fond of the Tynedale, which she considers a fine hunting country, and she has enjoyed many good runs over the lovely grassy tracts. Her favourite horses are called "Convict" and "Orangeman," though she has others which she frequently rides as well, and she is the fortunate possessor of a very beautiful little chestnut Arab which was sent to her from India, and which always goes to town with her to ride.[4]
