John Lumsden

Sir John Lumsden KBE (14 November 1869 – 3 September 1944) was an Irish physician and the founder of the St. John Ambulance Brigade of Ireland.

Early years

John Lumsden was born in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland. He was a medical doctor.

Dr. Lumsden's father (also named John Lumsden) had come from Scotland via India to work in a bank in Armagh and later moved to Dublin in 1867 to work for the Provincial Bank. Dr. Lumsden's father was a keen golfer and Dr. Lumsden worked with his father and his brother in setting up a rough and ready golf course in 1885 west of the Phoenix Cricket Club, thus establishing Ireland's second oldest golf club, the Dublin Golf Club. His father later helped the Dublin Golf Club become the Royal Dublin Golf Club in 1891.

In 1896 Dr. John Lumsden married Caroline Frances Kingscote, daughter of Major Fitzhardinge Kingscote and Agnes Grant Stuart, and their first child, John Fitzhardinge Lumsden, was born on 11 June 1897. At the time of the birth they were living at Dr. Lumsden's parents house but, soon after, moved out to 4 Fitzwilliam Place, Dublin, where Dr. Lumsden also had a medical practice on the first floor.
