J F McM Bland was son of Francis Christopher Cecil Bland (1875-    ).

F C C Bland's great-grandmother, Mrs Lucinda Bland, née Herbert, was a maternal granddaughter of Maurice Fitzgerald, Knight of Kerry.

This was the family of Bland of Derriquin Castle, co Kerry. F C C Bland's father sold Derriquin Castle in 1891, and it was later burned down by the IRA in 1922.
