Victoria Davies Randle

The service was officiated by the Reverend James Johnson and her wedding gown was a careful selection of the queen's, as her own mother's had been years before.

[2] Victoria Davies Randle later took her children Beatrice and John to visit her godmother in 1900, escorted by Bishop Johnson.

[2] Her marriage eventually fell apart; she lived in exile with the children thereafter, first in the United Kingdom and then in Sierra Leone, only returning to Lagos in 1917.

In London, Davies Randle had made the acquaintance of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, the prodigy who would rise to become a prominent Black British musician.

[2] Davies Randle provided Coleridge-Taylor with a Yoruba drum theme that he used in his Twenty-four Negro Melodies.
