In November 1890 Victoria Davies married John Randle (b. 1855), a doctor who had trained at Edinburgh University. Mrs Victoria Randle (formerly Davies) is shown with her two children; a daughter called Beatrice (after Princess Beatrice, who was her godmother) and a son, whose name is unknown. All wear contemporary Victorian dress.
The Globe reported:
Quite recently the Bishop of Lagos escorted Mrs Randle, an African lady, and her two little children, by Royal command, to Windsor Castle, where Her Majesty received the visitors with the utmost cordiality, and gave presents to the negro children, whom she kissed. The Queen has long taken the warmest interest in this West African family
