Notes:
Edward Clifford (1844-1907) was a minor pre-Ralphaelite artist, specializing in portraiture and biblical subjects. In the 1860s and 70s he worked as an assistant to Edward Burne-Jones. In the latter half of the nineteenth century, Clifford devoted himself to missonary activity, with notables trips to Hawaii and India. In Hawaii, he worked with Father Damien, who was renowned for his care of lepers (Clifford published a memoir of this experience in 1889). Clifford died in London, in 1907, apparently unmarried, and having lived and traveled with his sister Margaret and other siblings for much of his life. Margaret Clifford (Williams) married while in India, where her husband was involved in Anglican mission work. It appears she returned to Bristol, England after her husband's death.
