Biographical History
Aubrey-Fletcher was the only son and second child of Sir Lancelot Aubrey-Fletcher, 5th Baronet and Emily Harriet Wade (married 18 April 1882 St Anne, Soho, London), though his father had already had another son by a previous marriage, but the child died in infancy. He was educated at Eton College and New College, Oxford.
He fought in both the First World War and Second World War with the Grenadier Guards, being awarded the Distinguished Service Order and French Croix de guerre in 1917. He was a member of Buckinghamshire County Council and appointed High Sheriff of Buckinghamshire in 1925. He played Minor counties cricket between 1921 and 1928 for Buckinghamshire.
He was also, under the pen name of Henry Wade, a noted mystery writer and one of the founding members of the Detection Club.
He married Mary Augusta Chilton OStJ in 1911 and with her had 5 children. After the death of his wife in 1963, he married Nancy Cecil Bull in 1965. Sir Henry died on 30 May 1969, aged 81. His estate was valued at £108 537.
