According to Findagrave she was the third wife, and widow, of Dalham Robert Affleck, later Lawrence (3 May 1906-4 Mar 1975).
From other sources I had the names and partial dates of Dalham and his brother, but no marriages.
He was son of Sir Frederick Danby James Affleck, 8th Bt. (1856-1939). Sir Frederick had two sons with Lily Ross, born well before marriage; he claimed to have m. her in 1904, and married her again in 1918, while she was still legally married to another; they finally married legally in 1939 shortly before he died; under Queensland law the sons were thereby legitimized, but English law did not recognize such children, so the title became extinct.
Sir Frederick Danby James AFFLECK, 8th Bt. (3 Feb 1856-24 Jul 1939); he suc a cousin as 8th Bt. in 1919; m.1939 Mrs Elizabeth Annie “Lily” Green, née Ross (4 May 1874-9 Oct 1958)
