Reginald died on February 13, 1926, in their home Cuffnells, at the age of 74. Alan and Rex would later be killed in action in WWI.Īlice was against Caryl marrying Madeline Llewellen Palmer because she was a war widow with two children (included on the family chart below). Alice denied that the name Caryl had any connection to Carroll. They had three sons: Alan Knyveton (1881), Leopold Reginald “Rex” (1883), and Caryl Liddell (1887). On September 15, 1880, when Alice was 28, she married Reginald Gervis Hargreaves, a cricketer. This part is rather well-known so I shall skip it since it is not our focus. There, the family befriended Charles Dodgson (who had published a poem that year under the penname Lewis Carroll). In 1855 (Alice was about 3), he accepted the deanery of Christ Church, Oxford. Henry Liddell was well known for his work A Greek-English Lexicon and then was headmaster of Westminister School. For the most part though, it seems most of the “Alice” Liddells have stayed in England.Īlice Liddell’s life has been fabricated immensely so I will only go over simple facts in this post.Īlice Pleasance Liddell was born in Westminister, London, as Henry Liddell and Lorina Hanna Reeve’s fourth child (they would have 10 children in total). I tried to see if I could find this Liddell in the family tree, but I can’t without more information. If that’s true, it would mean EA’s Liddell connection isn’t biological. I’ve read here that Liddell was the surname of Longmire’s stepfather (however, I don’t know how accurate this is). You may have heard that EA’s birth surname was Fritzges and that her mother’s name is Janice Longmire. In the cut, I will go over Alice’s descendants. Guys, Alice had a remarkable lineage consisting of the peerage of England so her family has been extensively documented and it’s out there to find. Curiously, when people have tried to analyze her claim, they either say “Alice died childless” (where do they get this idea?), “has no living descendants” (what?), or “she had three sons, it’s possible” as if there’s no way to trace their genealogy. Regardless, she’s not related to the Liddells (at least, not from the “Alice” batch of Liddells). My father was a circus performer from Germany, and I am decended from the Liddells on my mothers side, of Scotland originally…Alice in Wonderland…” The only other exact quote I can find is from a q&a which is vague: “Indeed. You can see now why I don’t use that name.” is the only quote I can find online from the book). I tried searching for an actual quote of hers saying she was a direct descendant, but all I could find were fans saying she was (not a good source) and mentions of her writing in her book ( “and, fancy that! It already has my name on it. I personally, had not heard of her until recently and when I did, I also heard about her relation to Alice Liddell. Perhaps you may have heard of Emilie Autumn Liddell. Is Emilie Autumn related to Alice Liddell?
