They married in 1928 when she was 20 and he was 55, and divorced around 1932. They had just the one child, who was raised by her father after the divorce. After he died in 1942, she was raised by her mother & stepfather.
The younger Leslie married 1st in 1949 to Peter George Grenville; 1 daughter: Laura Claire.
married 2nd on 30 June 1955--wedding day photo at left--to Mark Raymond Bonham-Carter (1922-1994), English publisher & politician; 3 daughters: Jane (created Baroness Bonham-Carter of Yarnbury), Virginia, and Eliza Bonham-Carter.
Mark's niece is actress Helena Bonham-Carter.

Please note: Leslie's death date of 1 April 1992 is from family trees posted on Ancestry; but I also found online a 2017 interview purporting to be with an 87-year-old Leslie Nast Bonham-Carter.
