Oscar Wilde was an Irish writer and poet. He was the son of Jane Francesca “Agnes” (Elgee) and William Robert Wills Wilde.
Oscar’s mother apparently claimed that she had Italian ancestry from the sixteenth centuary, and that her maiden name, Elgee, was originally Algiati. No genealogical evidence has been produced to support this claim. Oscar’s Elgee line appears to only be tracable to ancestors from England.
Oscar’s paternal grandfather was Thomas Willis/Wills Wilde (the son of Ralph Wilde and Margaret O’Flynne). Ralph was born in Durham, England, the son of William Wilde and Anne Wardlow.
Oscar’s paternal grandmother was Amelia Flynne (the daughter of John Flynne and Elizabeth Donaldson).
Oscar’s maternal grandfather was Charles Elgee (the son of John Elgee and Jane Waddy). John was the son of Charles Elgee, who was English, and Alice. Jane was the daughter of Cadwaller Waddy and Eleanor Tench.
Oscar’s maternal grandmother was Sarah Kingsbury (the daughter of Thomas Kingsbury). Thomas was the son of John Kingsbury.
