![]() |
A letter signed by Peter J W Kilpatrick ( who stated he was 66 at the time of writing the letter August 25 1971) He wrote (to Auriel Douglas in the USA) in the letter " You are evidently not in touch with the Macfie relations in this country. I hope you won't be offended by the story that my aunt (aged 88) told me only last month about your grandfather ( reference is here made to Robert Andrew). She said that he went to South America and when there did a thing that was so terrible that his photograph was taken out of all the family photograph albums and he was never mentioned again. Apparently he married a Roman Catholic. |

MIDLOTHIAN GENTLEMAN'S DIVORCE SUIT MACFIE v. MACFIE Evidence was led in an action of divorce at the instance of Douglas Arthur Macfie, 24 St. Stephen's Road, Bayswater, London against his wife, Clara Schreyer or Macfie, 12 Penywern Road, Earls Court, London. SW. The pursuer (24) examined by Mr. Steedman said he was born at Hawaii on 6th September, 1884. His father was a domiciled Scotsman. His grandfather came from England and resided at Dreghorn in Mid-Lothian, up to the time of his death in 1892. Witness's father lived at Dreghorn until 1880 when he went to Hawaii. In 1890 or 1891 his father returned to Scotland and resided for a year at Dreghorn. Witness also resided there during his school holidays from 1890 to 1897. His father went to the West Indies in 1892 and was engaged in the sugar planting industry. Witness received his education at Dollar Academy and Blair Lodge, and after leaving school in 1902 he served three and a half years in a chartered account's office in Edinburgh. He left that firm in June 1905, and took an engagement on the stage, and toured in England and Ireland. In January of 1906 his aunt on his father's side, Lady McClure, died and in consequence of the money which he then got he left the stage. In May, June and July of 1905 he was residing at a boarding house in London, where he met his wife, who was of Swiss nationality. In the end of September 1906 he went with Miss Schreyer to Glasgow to see his father, and he was married to her at the registry office in Glasgow on 15th October 1906. There were no children of the marriage. After their marriage they lived at Brighton, at various places on the Continent, and in June 1907 returned to London and took a flat there. In April 1908 he came to Edinburgh, and remained there until about 26th April, 1908. His wife accompanied him. He went to Glasgow on 26th April to see a friend off on a voyage, and on his return found that his wife had gone to London without leaving any letter for him, but informing his landlady in Edinburgh that he was to join her in London. On reaching London, he found his wife was not staying at the boarding house in Montagu Street from which she had written to him whilst he remained in Edinburgh, but left word that she would be back in a day or so. After the first month of their marriage his wife and he failed to agree. He found his wife very extravagant in matters of dress and general style of living. His wife had a little money of her own. As his money became more scarce, he found his wife more difficult to please, and about August 1907, when his finances were rather low, he and his wife decided to separate for a while. He made her an allowance of 35s. per week. When witness returned from Edinburgh to London on 6th May and found that his wife had left the boarding house in Montagu Street, he stayed with his mother. On 7th May he telephoned to the boarding house and finding that his wife had returned he had an interview with her. In the course of the interview she told him that she stayed at St. Leonard's with a friend. After questioning her with regard to her alleged visit to this place, his wife ultimately confessed to him that she had never been at St. Leonard's and that she had been staying with a lady friend at the Tollard Royal Hotel. In the course of their conversation he noticed that the ring his wife was wearing was broader than the ring she used to wear. He was naturally surprised at this, and asked her for an explanation. She said that she had to wear a broad ring so that people would see that she was really married. In consequence of what his wife had told him he made inquiries al the Tollard Royal Hotel and was informed that nobody of the name of Mrs. Macfie or her friend had been staying at that hotel. On returning to the boarding house he saw his wife, and told her what had taken place at the Tollard Royal Hotel. His wife again informed him that she had been staying there, and on asking her to accompany him to the hotel to clear the matter up, she refused, and complained that witness was suspecting her in regard to her conduct. A little later he had a further conversation with his wife on the subject and she ultimately confessed that she had been staying at the Tollard Royal Hotel under the name of Mrs. Jackson. His brother ascertained that "Mr. and Mrs. Jackson" had been staying at the Tollard Royal Hotel. A clerkess and a chambermaid at the Tollard Royal Hotel, Southampton Row, London. stated that they remembered a Mr. and Mrs. Jackson staying at the Tollard Royal Hotel on the night of Tuesday 5th May 1908 and occupying the same bedroom. In June Mrs. Macfie returned to the hotel in company with the pursuer's solicitor, and the witnesses identified her as the lady who stayed at the hotel under the name of Mrs. Jackson. The pursuer's London solicitor gave further evidence of identification, and decree of divorce was granted |
