I must admit that I can't see how on earth you're going to research
this - by definition you're looking for a female who was probably
working before her marriage, so you have no way to know what her name
was. Without a name, how can you search?


As an encouragement, there was a story in my wife's family that some relative
had been a Lady -in-Waiting to Queen Victoria's mother. Quite by chance I
discovered that her 5g uncle, General Sir John Spink, had married Charlotte
McCumming, who was indeeed a L-i-W to the Duchess of Kent. So the story had
a basis in fact.
