Hugh Charles Fairfax-Cholmeley was born in Italy at the home of his mother’s family. After he had a son of his own, Hugh wrote some memories and history of his first home in Posilipo, Naples, a charming account of life there in the final years of the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily, for an English family which had adopted Italy as its home.

Nice to hear from you Sophie, just struggling to place you exactly in my network of relatives. Your great grandmother must have been sister to Hugh Fairfax-Cholmeley, then I think? Are you connected to Juliet Toke-Nicholls?
