Mrs Irving will be remembered for the stage creation of Du Manner's “Trilby” at the Haymarket in 1895, a year before she married the late Mr Henry Irving, eldest son of Sir Henry Irving. She was the daughter of a barrister and followed the stage as a career for 18 years until 1912, when she left it. Mrs Irving then devoted herself to infant welfare work, being associated -with the National Baby Week Council as secretary and other organisations dealing with mothers and infants.
