[Source - Chloe Rushovich for FHYA, 2017, using The Complete Peerage by George Edward Cokayne; the St Mary’s Slindon website (www.stmarysslindon.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/Beaumont-Lady-Violet.doc); and the Slindon Village website: Frederick F. J. Wootton Isaacson was the son of MP for Stepney, Frederick Wootton Isaacson, and Elizabeth Isaacson, well-known milliner who operated under the trade-name ‘Madame Elise’, and the brother of Lady Violet Beaumont. Frederick F. J. Wootton Isaacson lived in Slindon with his sister, living in Slindon House as Lord of the Manor. In 1917, Slindon House became a Convalescent Hospital, overseen by Lady Beaumont. Post war the house was cleared, and Lady Beaumont and Wootton Isaacson were able to resume normal life. Lady Beaumont donated material collected by her brother to the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology at the University of Cambridge. This material was accessioned in 1948. The FHYA selection of this material consists of objects from the FHYA target area of KwaZulu-Natal and immediately adjacent regions.]
