Eldest of two daughters born to stock broker Herbert Valentine Falk and Florence Maude Whittaker.
Dorothy first married Woolf "Babe" Barnato on 08 Dec 1915 in the ballroom of the Ritz Carlton Hotel in London. The two had met in the summer of 1914 when Dorothy was traveling abroad with her parents, and Woolf was then a student at Cambridge University.
They married while he was on leave of absence as a Lt. in the Royal Artillery Corps, and together had three daughters: Virginia, Diana, and Jacqueline, who died as an infant.
Dorothy and Woolf were divorced in 1923, and Dorothy next married Lt. Richard Butler Wainwright on the first day of 1925 at the Queen's Chapel of the Savoy in London.
Both of her husbands were intrepid men who had served in the military, were both pilots, and both loved speedy cars and airplanes. It was with her second husband at the wheel that--vacationing at Cannes, France--they had an automobile accident in which Dorothy's mother was killed and she and Richard were severely injured.
She later took up breeding registered Guernsey cattle and put her energy and enthusiasm into her farm and promoting British agriculture.
###
Mrs. Dorothy Maitland Wainwright, the well-known Guernsey cattle breeder, died suddenly at her home at Nutfield, Surrey, on June 23 at the age of 68.
She came to England from America at the beginning of the First World War, and she married, first, Woolf Barnato in 1915, and, secondly, Richard Butler Wainwright in 1925. She started farming at Nutfield in 1936.
Her death will be a sad loss to agriculture, for her interests in farming were wide-spread, and included the chairmanship of the British Cattle Breeder's Club, and work for National Milk Records and the National Farmers' Union committees. She served on the council of the Guernsey Breed Society from 19449, and was also a militant member of the Board of Quality Milk Producers, the organization responsible for promoting the popularity of Channel Island milk.
In spite of three major accidents in the past eight years, she never lost her keenness and enthusiasm, which, coupled with her great knowledge of pedigree livestock, leave a gap that will not easily by filled.
She is survived by two daughters. --The Times (London, England); Friday, 30 Jun 1961; pg. 15
