Jack Brooksbank: Family and Background

[miss whirley]

I think it goes back to Stamp Brooksbank (1694 – 24 May 1756), he was an English MP and Governor of the Bank of England.

He was the heir of his mother's father Richard Stamp. So you're right that Stamp came from a maiden surname.

Repost to make sure that it is also in the Brooksbank-family thread:

Probable line of succession to the Brooksbank baronetcy (but not all information is available!)

Male line descendants of the 1st baronet - N.B. numbers refer to real spot in family order (colors indicate generation):
Sir Edward Clitherow Brooksbank, 1st Bt (1858-1943)
1. Stamp Brooksbank (1887-1915; KIA)
2. Edward York Brooksbank (1888-1935)
2.2. Edward William Brooksbank, 2nd Bt. (1915 - 1983)
2.2.1. Sir Edward Nicholas Brooksbank, 3rd Bt (b. 1944)
2.2.1.1. Florian Thomas Charles Brooksbrank (b. 1982) - HEIR APPARENT (LoS 1)*
2.2.1.1.1. Oliver Brooksbank (LoS 2)
2.2.1.1.2. Nicholas Brooksbank (LoS 3)
2.3. Benjamin John Brooksbank (b. 27 Sep 1918) (LoS 4; if still alive at age 102)
2.4. Stamp Godfrey Brooksbank (1922 - 2017)
2.4.1. David William Brooksbank (b. 1946) (LoS 5)
2.4.1.1. Scott Brooksbank (b. 1976) (LoS 6)**
2.4.1.1.1. William Emile Brooksbank (2009) (LoS 7)
2.4.1.2. Charles Brooksbank (b. 1979) (LoS 8)
2.4.2. George Edward Hugh Brooksbank (b. 1949) (LoS 9)
2.4.2.1. Jack Brooksbank (b. 1986; son of 5) (LoS 10)
2.4.2.1.1. Baby Brooksbank (b. 2021; son of 6) (LoS 11)
2.4.2.2. Thomas Brooksbank (b. 1988; son of 12) (LoS 12)
2.4.2.2.1. Wilfred Brooksbank (b. 2020; son of 8) (LoS 13)
4. Hugh Godfrey Brooksbank (1893-1914)

So, Baby Brooksbank might both be 11th in the line of succession to the Baronetcy as well as to the throne

Jack has become an uncle again!

A joy came to the Brooksbank family after the death of George Brooksbank:

Darcey Violet Ewing, born on 22 February, to Thomas (b.1988) and Amy Brooksbank, nee Rodgers (b.1988):

a sister for Wilfred Stamp Ewing (7-7-2020).

I like the choice of Violet for Darcey's middle name. Violet is a pretty floral name.

Jack's grandma has died

A sadness came to Nicola Brooksbank and her sons:


Joanna Newton, who died 13th November, 2023, aged 97, was descended from the Houssemayne Du Boulay landed gentry family, and was the maternal grandmother of Jack Brooksbank, husband of Princess Eugenie.

She was born in Chelsea in 1926, daughter of Godfrey Holland (1872-1966), and his wife the former Violet Houssemayne Du Boulay (1892-1979), scion of that landed gentry family, and married at Horsham, Sussex, in 1949, Michael Anthony Fendall Newton (1923-2006), son of Giles Fendall Newton, MBE (1891-1974), and his wife the former Mary Cicely Meyrick (1899-1972), scion of the Meyrick baronets, by whom she had issue, a son, Christopher Meyrick Fendall, and two daughters, Jenny (b ), and Nicola (born 1953).

Nicola Newton married in 1985, George Edward Hugh Brooksbank (1949-2021), scion of the Brooksbank baronets, by whom she has issue, Jack (born 3 May, 1986), and Thomas (born 1988).

Thank you for posting this ~ it explains Eugenie’s absence from KCIII’s birthday celebration, which Beatrice had attended.

So, their grandmothers were both born in 1926 and reached a high age. Hopefully Jack's grandmother also did so in good health.
