Emily Bayley

Emily Metcalfe, Lady Clive Bayley (née Metcalfe; 1830–1911), was an English author. A book of her reminiscences was published in 1980. Edited by M. M. Kaye, it was called The Golden Calm: An English Lady's Life in Moghul Delhi: Reminiscences by Emily, Lady Clive Bayley, and by Her Father Sir Thomas Metcalfe.

She was born Emily Annie Theophila Metcalfe, the daughter of Sir Thomas Metcalfe, 4th Baronet, a British civil servant in India.[1] She was born in India, but raised in England before rejoining her father in Delhi at the age of seventeen.

In 1850, she married Edward Clive Bayley. He became Knight Commander of the Order of the Star of India in 1877, and Emily became "Lady Clive Bayley".
