Registered File number 1990/1787. Part of a wedding ensemble T.428 to I-1990. Worn by Mary Primrose for her wedding on 10 June, 1885, to Major Herbert Littledale at SS Phillip and James, Cheltenham. On 26 April 1886, Mary gave birth to their daughter, Elsie Mary Littledale. Her husband held the rank of Major in the York and Lancaster Regiment. The regiment in 1886 was at its Barracks in Sheffield, having returned from a tour of duty in India. Tragically, on 18 May 1886, Mary died in Sheffield. Due to the close dates of Elsie's birth and Mary's death, it may be that Mary died as a result of complications after childbirth. While the cause is not clear, it is certain that she did not die in India, as previously thought, but in Yorkshire where her husband's regiment was stationed. Gladman & Womack were Court Dress Makers with premises at 26 Portman Street, London.
