Hi Frances,
I jumped to conclusions (maybe), that Keith RICHMOND, was a child of the two artists, and had been adopted out.
Lena divorced in 1940. Lena and Creighton McPHEE, appear to have been parted for a while before the divorce.
This marriage, for Beresford CONROY, in 1940.

Beresford and Rosaleen, seem to part company, and by 1961, he has a new partner.
