During a recess at the Gaiety Theatre in 1870 she had a brief singing engagement at The South London Music Hall in Lambeth.[6] One of her most popular songs was 'Sally In Our Alley'.[7] Further appearances included a comic opera version of Cinderella at the Holborn Theatre (1874-1875);[8] in La Poule aux Oeufs D’or (1878–1879); reprising the role of Prince Raphael in La princesse de Trébizonde (1879); as Marguerite in Mefistofele (1880) with Lizzie St Quentin in the title role and Fred Leslie as Faust and Lionel Brough as Valentine;[9][10] Jeanneton in Lacôme's Jeanne, Jeannette et Jeanneton (1881),[11] and the title role in The Black Crook (1881–1882), the latter all at the Alhambra Theatre in London.[12] She was the wife of John Caulfield (1839-before 1891), a Professor of Music. Their daughter was Constance Elizabeth Louisa Caulfield (1871-1956).[13] By 1891 Loseby had retired from the stage and owned the Victoria Hotel in Aldershot in Hampshire for a period.[14] At the time of her death in 1906 she was a widow living in the Red Lion Hotel in Milford in Surrey.
