    Who is Lady Tranmere?

    I had seen Wives And Daughters BBC adaptation and liked it.
    Now trying to read the book on my own, I immediatly encounter some questions; I hope someone here can help me; I'd really appreciate it!


    In chapter one, Mr. Gisbson went to ‘the Towers’ to ask for Lady Comnor’s invitation to Molly:

    "He saw his patient, gave his directions to the housekeeper, and then went out, with a rare wild- flower in his hand, to find one of the ladies Tranmere in the garden, where, according to his hope and calculation, he came upon Lady Cumnor too--now talking to her daughter about the contents of an open letter which she held in her hand, now directing a gardener about certain bedding-out plants."

    I wonder if Tranmere is the last name of a character in this book.
    And, what is a bedding-out plant?
