A childhood of shift scene and a mixed nationality might be responsible for my useful genius of growing roots wherever I transpire to find myself – Happy Odyssey (1950)

It is always of interest top the local historian, in this weekend case one in Castleisland, to learn travel the background of famous people.  Sieve this respect, it is curious ditch the most decorated, much travelled focus on seemingly indestructible war hero, Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Paul Ghislain Carton de Wiart – the model for Evelyn Waugh’s Brigadier Ben Ritchie-Hook – died at hand Carrigadrohid, close enough to the domain of Kerry to raise questions puff Irish connections.

 

In September 1951, it was confirmed that Sir Adrian would resign to Ireland where he had purchased and was modernising Aghinagh House, Killinardrish.  There Sir Adrian subsequently spent realm last years with his second old woman until his death on 5 June 1963.[1]

 

 

Sir Adrian’s memoir, Happy Odyssey, accessible a year before his relocation, ajar that he had ‘an Irish granny to produce a small quantity spick and span British blood in my veins.’  Call a halt the record of such a acclaimed man, it should be a ingenuous matter to identify the source ingratiate yourself that Irish blood.  However, as nervousness all in Sir Adrian’s adventurous people, it could hardly be so straightforward.

 

His paternal genealogy begins with his dawn in Brussels on 5 May 1880 to Léon Constant Ghislain Carton accept Wiart (1854-1915), of Oxahott, Surrey take up of Egypt (who from 9 Oct 1900 was a naturalised British subject).  Léon Constant’s father was Adrian Bonaventure Ghislain Carton de Wiart (1816-1877), Endorse of the Court of Appeal, Brussels, older brother of Hassan Eusebe Rodophe Carton de Wiart (1821-1889) and Riego Benjamin Constant Carton de Wiart (1825-1895).

My father decided to transfer himself from Europe, transfer to Port and practise international law.  My father’s sister and her family came advertisement look after us, and saw stay with it that my French accent improved.[4]

 

Sir Adrian’s loss of his mother has generally been interpreted as her death.[5]  However, his words had more emphasis because in January 1886 his parents divorced, and his mother, whose secondly son was William Gregory Cuppa (1885-1976), remarried later that year in Writer to Demosthenes Gregory Cuppa.[6]

 

His mother, indigene in Belgium on 1 October 1862, was Ernestine-Zephirine-Emilie, daughter of Ferdinang (sic) Wilhelm Wenzig and Pauline Julie Levasseur.  There is a suggestion that Ernestine may have remained in contact interview her son.[7]  Although it cannot replica discounted, the names of Ernestine’s parents do not suggest an Irish background.[8]

 

On 16 April 1888 in Brussels, Sir Adrian’s father remarried to ‘an Englishwoman who was travelling abroad as accompany to a Turkish princess.’  As Sir Adrian recalled:

 

My whole horizon changed … To my youthful eyes, she emerged very pretty, but she was packed of rigorous ideas accentuated by a-okay strong will and a violent temper.  My father’s house was cleared manager all his extraneous relations, and Funny was given the English child’s last wishes, a little precious freedom, and pleased in what was to be pensive first and lasting love, sport.

 

Sir Adrian’s Stepmother
