Summary[edit]

Description

A portrait of a gentleman in what looks for all the world like a prisoners striped shirt, and which is dated to 151 years ago. Lord Alan Spencer Churchill must surely be connected to the more famous bearers of that name (both before and after?). What can we find out about him, and why was he a subject for the Dillons of Ahascragh?

With thanks to everyone's contributions today, and in particular those from [/photos/scorbet/ sharon.corbet], [/photos/beachcomberaustralia/ beachcomber], and [/photos/gnmcauley/ Niall McAuley], it is confirmed that the catalogue is likely correct and this is Lord Alan Spencer-Churchill (1825-1873) photographed in the 1860s. The guys tell us that he is connected (via the Churchill line) to the Duke of Marlborough and Winston Churchill, and (via the Spencer line) to Princess Diana. It is this via this Spencer line that he is also associated to the Clonbrock estate. (His relation Caroline Elizabeth Spencer became Baroness Clonbrock when she married Robert Dillon in the 1830s)....
