Married Florence Davidson in 1867 in Bombay (she is said to have run off with an army officer and Arthur divoced her. They had one son Leighton b.1871. He then married Mary Flora Leighton daughter David Leighton ICS of Cheltenham. Arthur was by now Collector and Political Agent Kaira, Bombay. Said to have been suggested for a knighthood but was refused because he was divorced. lst wife Florence appears to be great niece of David Leighton father b. 1775 and appears in 1851 census aged 3yrs. (I suppose that is why son was called Leighton as a christian name which is also his step-mothers maiden name)
