On 10 February 1887, at the age of 19, she married a Royal Artillery officer, Major Henry Wykeham Brooke Tunstall Haverfield RA (1846-1895), in Kensington, London, and the couple went to live at Sherborne, Dorset. From 1890 to 1893, they lived at West Hall, an Elizabethan manor house at Folke near Sherborne. In 1893, the couple moved to Marsh Court at a Dorset hamlet, Caundle Marsh. Evelina's husband was 20 years her senior. The marriage was a happy one producing two sons, John Campbell Haverfield (1887-1915) and Brook Tunstall Haverfield (1889-1954), but Henry Haverfield died eight years later.
