Arthur Wyndham Spedding Playfair

Arthur's marriage to Lena fell apart soon after they married due to his excesive drinking. Lena stayed with him while her father was alive, so as not to cause her father any distress.

To avoid any scandal to Arthur's family it was agreed that Lena would move from their house in Clareville Grove, where she lived with Ethel, to live in Berlin with two old governesses of his family. On her return to England she would find the house empty giving them grounds for divorce.

Arthur had one brother in the Army and another who was a doctor.



ARTHUR PLAYFAIR, Actor, aged 49, left £5,438 in a will.
