Maude Smith was previously engaged (2016) to Joshua Barley and the wedding was planned for 15 July 2016 (weddingshop.com via Ivana at nobiliana.de).  DPB online doesn't give a marriage for Joshua Barley (his mother is Richenda nee Buxton of the Baronets).  Presumably the engagement was broken off before the wedding took place
