Any mistakes in my summary?
Arthur who is working as a solicitor had to go to Eel Marsh House to collect some important papers. He comes to see and hear strange things there: ‘A woman in black and the cry of a child’. Finally somehow from the papers of letters and from Mr. Daily who had lived in the town for fourteen years, Arthur comes to know about the woman who is a ghost and the child’s cry. After some weeks, Arthur married Stella. A baby boy was born to them a year later. But Stella and the baby boy died when Arthur saw the ‘woman in black’ under a big tree. On the whole, the story is a flashback Arthur telling to his four children born to Esme`.

Arthur, who is working as a solicitor,
Finally, + I would move the 'somehow' part to the end of the sentence
After some weeks- you change to the past tense here- I'd use the present all the way through after starting with it.
