context_page_description: Louisa Catherine Beaufort was an Irish antiquarian, author and artist.
context_section_description: Beaufort was the daughter of Rev Daniel Augustus Beaufort and Mary Waller. Her grandfather was from the Huguenot community in London and moved to Ireland as chaplain to the viceroy. She had two sisters, Harriet (called Henrietta) and Frances Anne Beaufort, and two brothers, William and Francis. Two other sisters died in infancy. Her sister Frances, a botanist and author, married, as his fourth wife, Richard Lovell Edgeworth, and thus became step-mother to the novelist Maria Edgeworth.  W. J. McCormack states that both Daniel and Louisa advised Maria Edgeworth in her writing of The Absentee.
