He studied law and married Esther Bevir (1850-1925 V), daughter of William Laurence Bevir (a solicitor), at Wootton Bassett, Wiltshire, in 1876. As a recently qualified solicitor, he was looking for a suitable practice and moved to Tring, where the town's respected lawyer, John Shugar, had recently died. They had two sons and seven daughters, all born in Tring.   The 1878 Hertfordshire directory records \"Shugar, Vaisey and Vorse, solicitors, High Street, Tring\" with Arthur living at 4 Park Street. By 1882, he had built a house, Holly Field, in the fashionable Grove area of Tring. He had an office in the High Street, and the 1890 directory describes him as \"solicitor \u0026 commissioner for taking oaths \u0026 clerk to the local board \u0026 vestry clerk.\"","By 1912, he had taken his son Roland on as a partner and the directory entry reads \"Vaisey Arthur William, solicitor \u0026 commissioner for taking oaths (firm A W Vaisey \u0026 Son), clerk to the Urban District Council, vestry clerk \u0026 clerk to the Guardians of Berkhamsted Union, to Berkhamsted District Council \u0026 to the Tring Urban Local Education Sub-committee, Western Road \u0026 207 High Street, Great Berkhamsted.\" By 1922, he had another partner, and the entry read \"Vaisey Arthur William, solicitor \u0026 commissioner for taking oaths (firm A W Vaisey \u0026 Turner), clerk to the Tring Urban District Council, vestry clerk \u0026 clerk to the Berkhamsted Guardians \u0026 Rural District Council District Council \u0026 to the Tring Urban Local Education Sub-committee, Western Road \u0026 213 High Street, Berkhamsted.\"","His wife Ester died in 1925, and he died in 1939 and was buried in Tring Cemetery.","\nThis collection contains papers from the legal practice of John Merritt Shugar and Arthur William Vaisey, solicitors.

The collection documents work from 1850 to 1914, although these papers relate mostly to the period 1875-1900.","The Shugar and Vaisey practice was mainly property and probate law. The bulk of the material in this collection consists of conveyances, enfranchisements, indentures, title abstracts, wills, and related correspondence.

Thus it appears that a considerable amount of other material has either been lost or exists elsewhere.","It is worth mentioning that the folder in Box 2, titled: \"Bedford v. Berkhampstead Rural District Council: Records and Leases\" includes a draft claim on behalf of Rebecca Bedford. This was drawn on the back of an unrelated but useful document, the voters list for western Hertfordshire in 1893, which provides addresses for voters, many of whom appear elsewhere in the records. Vaisey himself is among those listed. Researchers will notice the various spellings of Berkhamsted given in the documents; apparently, its spelling was not yet standardized.","Arthur J.
