In writing, as 'Lord Mayor', perhaps surprisingly. The title Lady Mayoress is reserved only for the wife of a Lord Mayor. You should address a female Lord Mayor as "Madam Mayor" in conversation. It is considered impolite, certainly in public speaking, to address her just as 'mrs. Smith'.

In writing an envelope, you use "Mrs. J.B. Smith, Lord Mayor of Portsmouth".

Is the wife of a mayor the mayoress?

The Wife of a Lord Mayor in the United Kingdom is properly and officially refereed to as a Lady Mayoress, citing the suffix -ess as applied for feminine titles in English. Many former British Colonies follow suit, such as in Australia. Similar to the designation "First Lady", the Lady Mayoress has a symbolic nature towards events and the nation in general towards the area she represents. When the Lord Mayor is female, she usually is not designated as the Lady Mayoress, but takes the title of Lord Mayor. There have been cases, however, of a female as Lord Mayor and her mother as Lord Mayoress, such as in Brisbane,UK. In America, no such designation is official, but it is still a recognized term for the wife or a lady holding the position of mayor, although is not very popular as an American designation.
