Arthur Lawley, 6th Baron Wenlock, GCIE, KCMG (12 November 1860–14 June 1932) was Governor of Western Australia from 1901 to 1902. He also worked as lieutenant governor of Transvaal from 1902 to 1905. The Perth suburb of Mount Lawley is named after him. Lawley was a son of the 2nd Baron Wenlock (1818–1880) and he served with the 10th Hussars, rising to the rank of Captain. On 15 October 1885, he married Annie Cunard, a daughter of Sir Edward Cunard, 2nd Baronet and they had three children: Hon. Margaret Cecilia Lawley (d. 1969) Hon. Richard Edward Lawley (9 May 1887–4 September 1909), killed in India in a hunting accident. Hon. Ursula Mary Lawley (born 8 June 1888–16 October 1979) He succeeded as Baron Wenlock on the death of his elder brother, the 5th Baron, who died without male heirs (as did his other two elder brothers), on 14 June 1931. Lawley died exactly a year later in 1932 in Freiberg, Baden-Württemberg, Germany and as he also did not have any male heirs, his title became extinct. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Lawley

This is another picture from 1913, the meeting of the Anglo-American Peace Centenary (1814-1914) Committee. Use the tag to find the other pictures associated with the event. NYT article from May 6, 1913 lists delegates 'PEACE ENVOYS BEGIN CELEBRATION PLANS; Delegates from England and British Colonies Officially Welcomed by Gaynor.' query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9404E7D91F3AE633A... Third from left, with dark mustache and coat over his arm, is Henry Vivian. See www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3239320332/ Third from right, with a stick, is Lord Weardale.

Fifth from right, with bowler and hands on cane is Capt. Sir Arthur Lawley. See www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/3121124180/ Center front with watch chain on substantial paunch is Sir George Reid, High Commissioner for Australia in London. Between Reid and Lawley might be the 7th Earl Stanhope thepeerage.com/p3481.htm#i34809 -- who would have been 33 at the time. According to peerage.com, he was the nephew of Lord Weardale.
