Here's a stab at adding to post-war Dutch players-sorry if some are already repeats.

Could anyone add the first name of any (more) of the Dutch players mentioned in section 451 above?

LEA ANTONOPLIS
United States
Born 20 January 1959
Married Inoye

note that the websites of the WTA and ITF write so her surname, not Antonopolis

The WTA is right about Antonoplis. I have some correcting to do!

SIMS, MARGARET (Margaret Manley Alice Sims
United Kingdom
Born in Australia
Died 1961
Married (1) Major Henry Sanderson “Harry” Laverton (1873-1958) (Kings 3rd Hussars)-1899. Divorced in October 1913-1 daughter. He was a noted cricket play.
Married (2) Sir Francis Gordon Lowe (1884-1972) on (4 May 1914). Divorced by 1926.

*one site suggests her family name may have been Manley-Sims.

Gordon Lowe named as co-respondent in divorce case of 1913. She lost custody of her daughter. Involved in another scandal on the French Riviera in 1921 when she was stealing cash from other players bags and lockers. The scandal was diverted when her husband paid back all the money. Her excuse was gambling debts she wanted to hide from her spouse.

An article in the 1908 Bystander with photo-she saved a child in India from drowning.

The article suggests the pair were in India until 1908-when they moved to South Africa.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
My additional comments on info: The October 1913 divorce decree can be found in the Australian Trove site. The end date for her marriage to Lowe is based on Lowe's remarriage at that time. A most interesting character.

From some digging about in 1948

Audrey Osborne is listed as Mrs LJ Osborne -her maiden name?

Betty Passingham listed as Mrs N Passingham-her maiden name was Batt. Per Dunlop's she was born in London.

The tennis playing Rocksavages are the same couple, as they were Count and Countess Rocksavage from 1913-1923

Great find Rollo

I didn't know that Cholmondeley and Rocksavage were the same man!
In the French Riviera's tournaments he appears often: until 1923 as Rocksavage, and then as Cholmondeley.
