Dr. Lumsden's father (also named John Lumsden) had come from Scotland via India to work in a bank in Armagh and later moved to Dublin in 1867 to work for the Provincial Bank.〔Sport supplement; Golfing Log By Dermot Gilleece, the Irish Times, 7 December 1996〕 Dr. Lumsden's father was a keen golfer and Dr. Lumsden worked with his father and his brother in setting up a rough and ready golf course in 1885 west of the Phoenix Cricket Club, thus establishing Ireland's second oldest golf club, the Dublin Golf Club. His father later helped the Dublin Golf Club become the Royal Dublin Golf Club in 1891.〔〔(The Royal Dublin Golf Club website )〕 In 1896 Dr. John Lumsden married Caroline Frances Kingscote, daughter of Major Fitzhardinge Kingscote and Agnes Grant Stuart, and their first child, John Fitzhardinge Lumsden, was born on 11 June 1897. At the time of the birth they were living at Dr. Lumsden's parents house but, soon after, moved out to 4 Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin, where Dr. Lumsden also had a medical practice on the first floor.〔Much of this information came from his grand-daughter, Margery L. Stratton in correspondence with David Foley and reproduced on his website, (earlscliffe.com )〕 Their first child was soon followed by sisters: Leslie, born in 1898, Norah in 1900, Margery in 1908 and twins, Nancy and Betty born in 1911. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Lumsden」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
