Thank you all
I am glad you have replied Barryd - I had wondered if you were directly related. My husband is the great grandson of Sir Edward Creasy. Amazing really because I actually had a relationship with my great grandfather, but Sir Ed was born in 1812! However, he was 47 when my husbands grandfather, Frank Roland was born in 1859. And he was 43 when his son (my husband's father) was born.
We have always been fascinated with Ella George as we have a letter he wrote when he was at boarding school. He seems to have been a very sensitive lad.
Sir Edward and his wife Mary were very caring in their role as parents and the children remained close when they were growing up. However, they were sent to boarding schools and Frank Roland hated it and ran away when he was seven.
We have the memoirs of Edith (Frank's wife) and she talks of the Creasy's being a loving, close family.
