Mr. Mayer was the heir to the Italian title of Count Rossi, and his wife was a descendant of Prince Boileau of France. Mr Mayer ascended to the title of Count Rossi in 1896.[1] [2]
Both Mr and Mrs Mayer were musically gifted. Mrs Mayer had performed at the first Handel Festival held at the Crystal Palace in London in 1857, while Mr Mayer had been a boy soprano in St Paul's Cathedral in London.
