A British civil servant who became a noted judge and expert in Indian affairs.

He was Greer's first husband (28 September 1933 - 8 May 1940) (divorced).

Greer lived with him briefly in Nagpur, a small town in central India, but pined for the theatre and finally succumbed to its calling. A besotted Sir Edward reportedly grieved at losing her and would watch multiple screenings of any film of hers that played in Nagpur. The actual marriage reportedly lasted only a few weeks, but it was not formally dissolved until 1940.
