His father, Edward, was a merchant clothier and landowner. 32-year-old Harry married 21-year-old Stella Robins in November 1894 in Trinity Church, Upper Chelsea, London (they had no children). Harry had three older sisters and a younger brother, Philip (b. 1863), who also played some tennis. Cause of Harry's death is not clear. (Mark Ryan)
