Helen was a Church of England Deaconess ( who I met); Robert & Philip were Roman Catholic Priests and Raymond I think converted to Roman Catholicism.
Regarding Raymond Bethune Dunbar Malden I have received the following note from M Sinclair.
I can, with the greatest of pleasure, expand a little upon Raymond Bethune Dunbar Malden; and in so doing repay a very great deal of kindness. He was the assistant headmaster of the Prep school, Skippers Hill Manor, I attended near Mayfield, Sussex, between 1945 and 1947. He was a Roman Catholic in a Church of England setting, as was I. I don't know whether he converted, or had always been Catholic; but my impression is the latter. He had, as you report, two children; and kept photographs of them on the desk of his sitting-room at the school. Desmond, the son, I was privileged to once meet. He was in the RN, a lieutenant-commander I believe, and extraordinarily handsome. The daughter, from her photograph, was very beautiful. I think you may be mistaken about his wife...my impression always was that she was dead; and, after all, upon his retirement from the school in 1947, he was accepted at a seminary in Holland, was ordained, and became a missionary Father (I have an idea it was the White Fathers) in the Gold Coast, as Ghana was then known. She, too, from a photograph, had been astonishingly beautiful. I eventually became a merchant seaman, and he and I corresponded on and off for many years, myself seeking friendly guidance and he providing it. The last I saw (and heard) of him was a photograph of him in a Canadian newspaper, dressed in sandals and robe, trailing a Canadian bishop somewhere in the Gold Coast.
