Biography
She was born Elizabeth Lydia Rosabelle Bonham in Naples, daughter of Edward Bonham of Bramling, Kent, a British consul.
A Catholic, in 1887 she married Comte Henry Philip Ducarel de la Pasture of Llandogo Priory, Monmouthshire. The family was living at Aldrington, near Hove, when the elder of their two daughters was born in 1890. Known by the pseudonym E. M. Delafield (married name Edmée Dashwood), she authored the Provincial Lady series, but predeceased her mother in 1943. However, she failed to mention her mother in her Who's Who entry. The younger daughter, Yolande Friedl, was a medical doctor, who died in London in 1976.
In 1918 Elizabeth was awarded the CBE.
Between 1912 and 1929, the De la Pastures lived successively in the Gold Coast (where she edited an album in 1908), Nigeria, Ceylon, the Malay States and Borneo. Widowed in 1908, she married in 1910 Sir Hugh Clifford, a colonial administrator who ended his career as Governor of the Straits Settlements. Clifford was a friend of the novelist Joseph Conrad.
