Ada Leverson

Ada Esther Leverson (née Beddington; 10 October 1862 – 30 August 1933) was a British writer who is known for her friendship with Oscar Wilde and for her work as a witty novelist of the fin-de-siècle.
==Family==
Leverson was born into a Jewish family.〔http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/leverson-ada〕 Her father was Samuel Henry Beddington, a wool merchant, and her mother's name was Zillah. Leverson had eight younger siblings, one of whom died in infancy. The survivors were, in order of birth, Evelyn, George, Charles, Sybil, Frank, Arthur and Violet. Sybil (who later married David Seligman) had a brief affair and long friendship with Giacomo Puccini.〔Speedie, Julie. ''Wonderful Sphinx'', Virago Press (1993); and Beddington, Frederick. "The Rest of the Family: a letter to Nicolas Bentley", Stellar Press (1963)〕 Violet (1874–1962) turned down a marriage proposal from composer Arthur Sullivan and later married author Sydney Schiff.〔Whitworth, Michael H. ("Schiff, Sydney Alfred (1868–1944)" ), ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, January 2008, accessed 26 October 2012.〕
At 19 Ada married Ernest Leverson (1852–1921) without her parents' consent. The marriage broke up when he moved to Canada in 1905. It has been suggested that her trilogy, ''The Little Ottleys'', is based somewhat on her own marriage.〔Burkhart, Charles. ''Ada Leverson'', Twayne Publishers Inc. (1973)〕 Her daughter and biographer, Violet Leverson, married Guy Percy Wyndham in 1923 as his second wife. Her grandson is short story-writer and novelist Francis Wyndham. Ernest Leverson's cousins include actor Darrell Fancourt and, by marriage, actor-playwright Brandon Thomas.
