I'm grateful to Patricia for information about Marian Ramsey. Marian married Alfred Formosa Ramsey, an engineer with the Douglas Steam Company, but was widowed in 1910. She appears in the Ladies Directory in Annelise's post as living at 131 Wanchai Road in 1895-1899.  Marian is one of the few women recorded as attending the funeral of my grandfather, Charles Warren, in June 1923. She was two years older than him.
