Captain in the Northumberland Fusiliers From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Aubrey Edward Henry Dean Paul, 5th Baronet (19 October 1869 – 16 January 1961)[1] was a captain in the Northumberland Fusiliers and a descendant of the 1st Duke of Marlborough.[2]
A descendant of Sir John Dean Paul, 1st Baronet (1775–1852), he was fifth of the Paul Baronets, of Rodborough, and father of Brenda Dean Paul, one of the ‘bright young things’.[3] He was brother to Mabel Louisa Dean Paul.
In 1901, he married Irene Regina,[4] daughter of Henryk Wieniawski and Isabelle Bessie-Hampton. The couple had been introduced by Nellie Melba. Lady Dean Paul, now adopted British nationality, but continued to publish works as "Irène Wieniawska".[5] They had three children:
Sir Aubrey and his wife performed in a number of concerts together, Aubrey performing as a baritone under the pseudonym of Edward Ramsay, a combination of his father's first name and his mother's surname. His wife, a pianist, performed under her own pseudonym of Poldowski.[7][8][9][10]
The 5th Baronet converted to Roman Catholicism in 1914 and the couple's daughter was educated at convent schools. His wife maintained a Bohemian lifestyle and the couple separated in 1922.[3]
