Marriage of the Hon. Miss Peel and Mr. Rochfort Maguire, 1895. Engravings from photographs. 'Miss Julia Beatrice Peel, who has so charmingly aided her distinguished father's hospitality lately, is the happy bride whose marriage has shed this pleasant light over the ex-Speaker's retirement. Miss Peel is the...eldest daughter of the Right Hon. Arthur Wellesley Peel...Mrs. Peel died in 1890. Since that sad event the responsible social duties devolving upon Miss Peel have been gracefully discharged by her, and she has won many friends, whose congratulations have been testified by the scores of handsome presents received...The bridegroom...is in his fortieth year. Mr. Maguire was educated at Cheltenham...and thence proceeded to Merton College, Oxford. Here he graduated B.A. in 1877, and M.A. (double first class) in 1880. He was called to the Bar of the Inner Temple twelve years ago, but, we believe, has not practised. Mr. Maguire is a Fellow of All Souls' College, Oxford. He entered Parliament in 1890 as M.P. for North Donegal, which he represented till 1892, when he was returned for the West Division of County Clare as a Parnellite. Mr. Maguire has had much to do with South Africa, where he has travelled extensively'. From "Illustrated London News", 1895.
