His second marriage was to Edith Mary Hunt (nee Reading). This was her third marriage:-
First to George Stanton Millard killed himself in Umtali Rhodesia in 1904
second to Harry Rochford Hunt a surgeon who died in Inyauga Rhodesia in 1909

Francis John Clowes was a Battery Man at Shamva Gold Mine Rhodesia (he was in charge of a rock crushing machine). He died in 1914 of Endocardita (an inflamation of the heart wall) after 2 weeks in Shamva Hospital. He was the son of St John Legh Clowes and Hon Elizabeth Caroline (nee Bingham) Elizabeth Caroline's father was 3rd Baron Clanmorris of Newbrook (one of those Irish titles). Their 3rd son Captain Phillip Cecil Clowes took the title and the family lived in Cheltenham.

Not sure who his first marriage was to as FreeBMD lists two possibles in Dec qtr 1892.
If anyone know that would be good
