Elma Napier

Her Army officer father's reputation had been ruined shortly before her birth, in what became known as the Royal Baccarat Scandal.

In 1912, she married Captain Maurice Antony Crutchley Gibbs (1888–1974), a businessman, with whom she had two children: Ronald and Daphne.

The couple moved to Australia, where they lived for nine years until Elma met and fell in love with another English businessman, Lennox Pelham Napier (1891–1940).

They moved there the following year, settling near the village of Calibishie, at a house they built and named Pointe Baptiste.

Elma was first elected to the colony's Legislative Council that year, where she championed local government and development in the form of village boards and cooperative ventures.

Elma remained at Pointe Baptiste, entertaining guests who included Somerset Maugham, Noël Coward, Patrick Leigh Fermor, and Princess Margaret.
