Jacques Tati (born Jacques Tatischeff) was a French director and actor. Despite a very small output—only six feature films and three shorts—he is considered one of the most influential comedy directors of the twentieth century. He is best known for creating the character of Monsieur Hulot—a slightly anachronistic, bumbling gentleman—whom he played in four films: Les Vacances de M. Hulot (M. Hulot’s Holiday, 1953), Mon Oncle (My Uncle, 1958), Play Time (1967), and Trafic (Traffic, 1971). Tati had a complex Russian, Dutch, French, and Italian ancestry (his paternal grandfather was a general in the Russian Imperial Army and came from nobility) and grew up under relatively affluent circumstances.

Paternal Grandfather

David Thoday was born on 5 May 1883 in Honiton, Devon, the eldest of a family of six consisting of three boys and three girls. Both his parents had descended from eastern English stock. His father, David Thoday, and his paternal grandfather, Ephraim Thoday, were natives of Willingham, Cambridgeshire, while his mother, Susan Elizabeth, was the daughter of Charles Bingham of Guyhirne in the same county who migrated to London. Both the grandfathers were skilled rural craftsmen. David Thoday the father (1858-1922) possessed a dominant personality. With a keen mind and scientific interests, although largely self-educated, he applied the best knowledge available to him to matters of diet and hygiene and in bringing up his family. From 1884 onwards he was a skilful and conscientious schoolmaster in elementary schools in London, becoming a headmaster in his later years. He was a radical in politics with the independent tradition of Cambridgeshire dissenters. Much of his leisure was absorbed in evangelical activities.

James Norman Davidson was born on 5 March 1911 in Edinburgh, where his father occupied the position of Treasurer of the Carnegie Trust for Scotland. The Edinburgh background and the completely Scottish ancestry had a profound effect on Norman Davidson’s development and his loyalty to Scotland was an important feature of his personality; it influenced him throughout his life. His paternal grandfather, James Davidson, came from the Buchan district of Aberdeenshire and as H.M. Officer of Fisheries was posted for duty in succession to five Scottish fishing ports. Norman’s father, also James Davidson, born in Peterhead in 1873, was the first of four children. He attended the local school in Burghead, but was sent for his secondary education to Elgin Academy, some ten miles away, returning home to Burghead at weekends. On leaving school he trained in a law office in Elgin and in 1896 he joined the firm of Ross and Connel, solicitors in Dunfermline. The principal partner of that firm was Mr (later Sir) John Ross who was a close friend of Andrew Carnegie, the famous industrialist and humanitarian who also hailed from Dunfermline. When the Carnegie Trust for the Universities of Scotland was set up in 1901, Ross became its first Treasurer. Shortly afterwards the Trust moved its offices to Edinburgh and James Davidson joined Ross as Assistant Treasurer. When Ross retired in 1923 James Davidson succeeded as Treasurer, a post he held until 1944. He died in 1956.

Eric John Underwood was born in London on 7 September 1905, the youngest of the three children of James Underwood and his wife, Elizabeth ( née Lowe) who was the daughter of a Baptist minister. Eric’s great grandfather on his father’s side was a farm labourer, and his great grandmother a domestic servant while his paternal grandfather was a gardener on an estate in Middlesex. Eric’s father, James, was apprenticed to the trade of saddlery and practised as a master saddler in London. In 1906, when Eric was but a year old, his mother died and six months later his father left all three children in the care of his brothers and sisters in London and emigrated to Australia. His intention was to become a farmer and create a home for his children so that they could join him at the first opportunity. James’s first step was to take over a small saddler’s shop and apple orchard at Mount Barker, some 220 miles south of Perth. A long correspondence then ensued with an old friend, Katie Louise Taseman, about the possibility of her joining him. Eventually Katie emigrated to Australia in 1913 bringing with her James’s three children, Gilbert aged 11, Marjorie aged 9 and Eric aged 8. When Katie arrived in Fremantle she and James were married immediately, the ceremony taking place on the lawn in the front of the registry office.

Dalziel Llewellyn Hammick died at Oxford on 17 October 1966, aged 79. He was born at West Norwood, London, on 8 March 1887, the eldest son of Llewellyn Sidney Herbert Hammick and Katherine Roy Hammick, née Collyns. There was a younger brother. His paternal grandfather was a London business man who took to the law and became a barrister, acting as secretary at the Registrar-General’s office and as Commissioner for Census, and who wrote The law of marriage (1873). He had changed his name from Hammack; earlier Hammacks were business men in London whose names are to be found back to 1713 in the records of the Plaisterers Company. A collateral branch existed in Shropshire. Hammick’s father was trained as an architect but does not appear to have practised. His mother was the daughter of a London tea-broker who had married Mary Dalziel of Ayr. Earlier members of the Collyns family were doctors and parsons in Devon. His maternal grandfather, C. P. Collyns, of Dulverton, was a well-known sportsman and author of The chase of the wild red deer .

Lord Acton's detachment, keen historical sense and vast knowledge reveal an insight applicable to recent Latin-American events. As Acton warned, “History must be our deliverer not only from the undue influence of other times, but from the undue influence of our own”.John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton was born in Naples in 1834. His paternal grandfather had made his career in the service of the King of Naples whose Prime Minister he was during the period of the French Revolution and Napoleon. His maternal grandfather was a noble of the Holy Roman Empire who served Napoleon and sat as a peer of France and a colleague of Talleyrand at the Congress of Vienna. His maternal great-uncle had been Archbishop Elector of Mainz, and his wife's family, the Arco Valleys, were active in French politics in the first half of the nineteenth century. Acton's step-father was Lord Granville, several times British Foreign Secretary.

In Pregnancy

Background. Despite convincing animal experiments demonstrating the potential for environmental exposures in one generation to have demonstrable effects generations later, there have been few relevant human studies. Those that have been undertaken have demonstrated associations, for example, between exposures such as nutrition and cigarette smoking in the grandparental generation and outcomes in grandchildren. We hypothesised that such transgenerational associations might be associated with the IQ of the grandchild, and that it would be likely that there would be differences in results between the sexes of the grandparents, parents, and children. Method. We used three-generational data from the Avon Longitudinal Study of Parents and Children (ALSPAC).  We incorporated environmental factors concerning grandparents (F0) and focussed on three exposures that we hypothesised may have independent transgenerational associations with the IQ of the grandchildren (F2): (i) UK Gross Domestic Product (GDP) at grandparental birth year; (ii) whether grandfather smoked; and (iii) whether the grandmother smoked in the relevant pregnancy. Potential confounders were ages of grandparents when the relevant parent was born, ethnic background, education level and social class of each grandparent. Results. After adjustment, all three target exposures had specific associations with measures of IQ in the grandchild. Paternal grandfather smoking was associated with reduced total IQ at 15 years; maternal grandfather smoking with reduced performance IQ at 8 years and reduced total IQ at 15.  Paternal grandmother smoking in pregnancy was associated with reduced performance IQ at 8, especially in grandsons. GDP at grandparents’ birth produced independent associations of reduced IQ with higher GDP; this was particularly true of paternal grandmothers. Conclusions. These results are complex and need to be tested in other datasets. They highlight the need to consider possible transgenerational associations in studying developmental variation in populations.

The forbears of Charles Frederick Arden-Close were predominantly military and naval. Major-General Frederick Close, R.A. (1830-1899) married twice, and by his second marriage, to Lydia Ann Stevens, had seven sons and four daughters. The eldest was Charles Frederick Close, born 10 August 1865, at St Saviour’s, Jersey, C.I., who later changed his surname from Close to Arden-Close by deed poll dated 17 August 1938. His mother’s parents were Captain J. A. Stevens, R.N. (1791-1867), and the daughter of Captain Francis Cole, R.N. (1760-1798), and niece of Captain Sir Christopher Cole, R.N. (who captured Banda Neira on 9 August 1810, and received the thanks of both Houses of Parliament). His paternal grandfather was Captain Charles Close, R.H.A. (1783-1849), who married the daughter of William Lewis, Member of Council, Bombay. This Captain Close had a younger brother, the Very Reverend Francis Close, Dean of Carlisle, a well-known leader of the Low Church Party and a stout opponent of science, especially of geology! The father of these two brothers was the Reverend Henry Jackson Close (1753-1806), rector of Bentworth, Hants, a friend of Warren Hastings whom he helped in his agricultural pursuits at Daylesford, being himself a well-known agriculturist. The large family of Major-General Close—there were also two daughters by his first marriage—created something of a financial problem. Here is what the subject of this memoir wrote about his early life at home and at school:
