Frances Patton Impey

Said to have died "in her 90th year" so birth date should be 1854?.

Frances Patton Impey (Lady Heyman). In 1894 travelled up from Vryburg as Mrs Alexander, with 3 children and was married at Hope Fountain by Rev. D. Carnegie, to Captain (later Sir Melville) Heyman. She laid the foundation stones of the Memorial Hospital (to the memory of those who fell in the Matabele War of '93) and of St. John's Church, Bulawayo. Lady Heyman left Rhodesia on the death of her husband and died at the Cape in December, 1944.
