Assuming this is Cecil, Marquesa del Moral, she was one of the four daughters of Frances Minto Elliot (nee Dickinson, married John Edward Geils), who appears in your group portrait NPG x45067 with Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins etc. Another daughter, Katherine Pascal Geils, married Robert Alexander Brooks, a merchant, but she died in 1866. Then, in 1871, Mr Brooks married the actress Fanny Gwynne (nee Frances Gairdner and divorced from Richard Barnes Rowlinson), pictured in your NPG x36122. One Geils daughter, Mary, died without marrying and another, Frances Clothilde, married the Marchese Chigi.
