TRITTON, Sasha Raphael Phoenix (born 2019)

[Henry W]

From the Telegraph of 19 December:

TRITTON, On 16th December 2019, to Pandora and Ollie, a son, Sasha Raphael Phoenix.

Shameless lifting of a previous genealogy by Richard R:

Oliver Seymour (b 1985 reg Q2 Hampshire) s of Lt-Col Ian G TRITTON (b c 1953 reg Q1 Surrey) and Elizabeth A M D'ABREU (I can find no connection with the gentry family of that name). He m 2016 Pandora India Nicola (b 1987) d of Adrian William Guy SYKES and Hon Nicola Mary Caroline BUXTON (b 1947) d of the LP Baron BUXTON OF ALSA (1918-2009) and his 1st w his cousin's widow Pamela Mary (1922-83, formerly Mrs Samuel BUXTON) d of Sir Henry Ralph Stanley BIRKIN 3rd Bt (1896-1933).

I had a look at this, and came across the 1958 marriage of an Alan George Tritton and Elizabeth Clare, dau. of Alphonsus Ligouri d'Abreu and Elizabeth Ursula Arienwen Throckmorton (grand-dau. of the 10th Bt); per this site- http://www.pennyghael.org.uk/Tritton.pdf - Alan George Tritton and Ian Gordon Tritton are related, both being 4x great-grandsons of London banker John Henton Tritton (1755-1833); Alan descends from the second son, Henry Tritton (1790-1838) and Ian from the third son, Rev. Robert Tritton (1792-1877). Although of course this is a quite distant connection, it'd surely be quite a coincidence for two members of the Tritton family to marry two unrelated d'Abreus.

I don't have BLG 1972; is Alphonsus Ligouri d'Abreu a member of that gentry family? It would seem so based on thepeerage.com.

My copy of BLG 1952 lists Alphonsus (1906-76) as the younger brother of Francis Arthur Philip D'ABREU (1904-1995), at the time Head of the Gentry Family of that name

Ah, I see- thanks for that, Henry, I didn't think to check the 1952 edition! I couldn't find Elizabeth A. M. d'Abreu in U.K. birth records (nor in fact could I find anything at all, really), and from Richard's information it doesn't sound like she's in that family's pedigree (although I'll have a look just in case), so I might have to put a pin in this one!

Interestingly, Francis Arthur Philip d'Abreu's entry (not including his third forename, but the details- father, year of birth, brother- confirm it's him) in the Lives of the Fellows on the Royal College of Surgeons website states him to have been one of twelve children, not reflected in the 1952 pedigree; this perhaps opens the field. A quick look at U.K. birth and census records would seem to support the 1952 pedigree, though... confusing! At any rate, a bit of digging shows the Abreu (and variants) surname to be less rare than I had initially thought, so of course there very well might be no relationship despite what is otherwise something of a coincidence in two related Tritton marriages.
