Timeline

1868 April 28, Samuel Charles Allsopp (later 2nd Baron Hindlip) and Georgina Millicent Palmer-Morewood married.

1886 February 16, Henry Allsopp (Samuel Charles Allsopp's father) was created 1st Baron Hindlip of Hindlip by Prime Minister Salisbury:

in his short first ministry, Lord Salisbury followed the precedent set by Disraeli by creating Henry Allsopp Baron Hindlip. Like Guiness, he was essentially a brewer; but this time [unlike Guiness, who had inherited a baronetcy and had big land holdings], he was self-made, came from Burton on Trent, and owned only a modest country seat at Hindlip Hall in Worcestershire.

1897 July 2, Lord and Lady Hindlip were invited to but did not attend the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball because he was ill and died less than two weeks later.

Costume at the Duchess of Devonshire's 2 July 1897 Fancy-dress Ball

Samuel Allsopp, Baron Hindlip and Georgiana Allsopp, Lady Hindlip were expected to attend the Duchess of Devonshire's fancy-dress ball, but they did not attend.

Samuel Allsopp, Baron Hindlip was ill according to the Morning Post, in "Arrangements for This Day," the article immediately preceding their big article on the ball. He died on 12 July 1897, so this was a serious illness.

According to the Times article, both Lord and Lady Hindlip were among the guests, but that list was likely assembled before the announcement in the Morning Post was published. Perhaps these descriptions are less about Lady Hindlip and more about information collected for the newspaper stories about her costume:

• Lady Hindlip was to have been in the Queen Elizabeth procession as "Maid of Honour, in yellow satin and brocade."
• "Lady Hindley [sic] [was one of the] maids of honour of the same [Elizabethan] period; ... in yellow satin."
• "Lady Hindlip, as a maid of honour to Queen Elizabeth, was dressed in a gown and bodice with long hanging sleeves of rich yellow satin embroidered in front, and all round the skirt was set with very fine gold and pearls. The hanging sleeves were lined with brocade, and the bodice trimmed with white pearls. The rest of the costume consisted of a small vertugadin of white silk crêpe, bordered silver, a cherusque of tulle embroidered with silver, pearls were employed in the coiffure, and the necklace was also formed of pearls, and an écran of feathers hung on a gold and pearl chain."
