*Although her father's birth name was Chandler, by the time of the 1891 census the family was using the name 'Carrington'. At the time of her birth, Eva's father was living in London and working as a hall porter, but had previously been an orderly room clerk to Colonel F. Burnaby of the Horse Guards at Dalgan Park in County Galway, Ireland - the seat of the de Cliffords. This connection might have been the means by which Eva met her first husband.
