Eleanor Souray

[2] Souray was a comic actress and singer, preferring the range of shows "from pantomime to light comedy".

[3] She appeared in The Black Tulip (1898), The Girl from Kays (1902), The Duchess of Dantzic (1903), The Blue Moon (1905), The Merveilleuses (1906), The Admirable Crichton, and Letty.

[7] In 1910, Souray married George Master Byng, the 9th Viscount Torrington, at the British Embassy in Paris; they met three days earlier, through their mutual interest in horse racing.

[8][9] They were married about four years when the viscount was commissioned to serve in the Royal Navy during World War I.

[10] Souray became more involved with horse racing in her later years, an expensive hobby, which led to her own bankruptcy in 1930.
