==Family background==
Laurence Kettle was born in Malahide, Co. Dublin, one of twelve children of Land League leader and Nationalist politician Andrew J. Kettle (1833–1916), a founder of the Irish Land League, and his wife, Margaret (née McCourt). He is the brother of writer, poet, Irish Volunteer and Member of Parliament (MP) at Westminster, Thomas Kettle, a man widely regarded as one of the greatest minds of his generation, who died in World War I.
Andrew Kettle influenced his sons considerably through his political activities, having been involved from an early age in the constitutional movement to achieve Home Rule. Andrew joined Michael Davitt in the foundation of the Irish Land League and was one of the signatories of the "No Rent Manifesto". He had adhered to Parnell in the 1890 crisis, and stood for election as a nationalist candidate on several occasions.〔''Cork Examiner'', 25 September 1916: from Andrew Kettle's obituary (text in full in article on the latter)〕
