Родители и родственники

"Ringo tended to call Harry [his stepfather] by his first name and around the time he married Ringo’s mother, Ringo started to call his mother by her first name too, so they were known simply as Elsie and Harry, rather than mum and dad." Ringo & Elsie '64

The couple met two years prior in 1966, when Pauline was an 18-year-old student studying at the University of Exeter. Despite initial shock at the age difference between the two from his son, John, and his wife Cynthia, Alfred managed to convince them to give Pauline a job at Kenwood, which involved helping to look after Julian and sorting out fan mail. She also lived in the attic bedroom of the house for a few months before the couple moved to Brighton together.

Pauline’s mother was greatly disapproving of her daughter’s new boyfriend, and so the couple travelled to Gretna Green in Scotland to marry, a place famous for hosting ‘runaway’ marriage ceremonies for people under the age of 21 who did not have parental consent. After settling down in Brighton, Alfred and Pauline had two children together — David Henry (born 1969), and Robin Francis (born 1973). They remained in Brighton until Alfred’s death from stomach cancer on 1 April 1976, aged 63. Pauline later remarried, and is now known as Pauline Stone.

О единородных братьях Джона в сети нет никакой информации кроме года рождения.



John Lennon’s father, Alf who was 53 (or 56) at the time, married 18 or (20) year old Pauline Jones in 1966 or 1968. Since she couldn’t convince her mother she wanted to marry Alf, they eloped to Gretna Green, Scotland. They had two sons. David Henry Lennon born on February 26, 1969 (52) and Robin Francis Lennon born on October 22, 1973 (48). Lennon’s father, Alf, died on April 1, 1976 at the age of 63 in Brighton from stomach cancer. Pauline later remarried and now known as Pauline Stone. She wrote a book in 1990, Daddy Come Home detailing her life with Alf and his meeting with John. Check out Wikipedia for more info on Alfred Lennon, John Lennon’s father. Philip Kirkland, Beatles & Liverpool Historian has an updated post on David Lennon and his mother, Pauline Stone. David is a programmer and analyst and involved in an internet cafe business in Brighton. I couldn’t find much on Robin but there are photos on the Lennon family online.

Зато все знают единоутробную сестру Джона Джулию Бэйрд

Julia Baird (née Dykins; born 5 March 1947) is a British retired teacher and author. She is the younger half-sister of English musician John Lennon, and is the eldest daughter of his mother Julia Lennon and John 'Bobby' Albert Dykins. She also has an older half-sister, Ingrid Pedersen. Her younger sister is Jacqueline 'Jackie' Dykins (born 26 October 1949).

Lennon started visiting the Dykins' house in 1951. After the death of Julia Lennon in 1958, Harriet and Norman Birch were appointed guardians of Julia and Jackie, ignoring Dykins' parentage, as he had never legally married their mother. Lennon invited the Dykins sisters to visit after the success of the Beatles, when he was living in Kenwood, Weybridge, with his then-wife, Cynthia Lennon.

Julia Dykins (Baird) married Allen Baird in 1968 and moved to Belfast. They had three children together but were divorced in 1981. Baird worked as a special needs teacher, and after Lennon's death she wrote John Lennon, My Brother (with Geoffrey Giuliano) and gave up working in 2004 to write Imagine This – Growing up with my brother John Lennon. In 2009, the book was adapted into the film Nowhere Boy. She is now a director of Cavern City Tours in Liverpool.

То есть Джон ходил в гости к Джулию в ее вторую семью, живя при этом у Мими.

Julia and John had a striking resemblance to each other

Смиты - вырастившие и воспитавшие Джона Леннона


"He had taken some time to accept me, I think. I don't think he was keen as Mimi to take me in the first place, but we got on fine. He was nice and kind and simple. He loved Mimi like nothing else, but she could be rough with him."

- John Lennon about his uncle, George Smith

Lennon lived with Smith and his wife for the majority of his childhood, and Smith taught the young Lennon to read, read him nursery rhymes at night, and later taught Lennon how to solve crossword puzzles. He also taught him to draw and paint and bought him his first mouth organ. Smith collapsed and died on a Sunday at his home of a liver haemorrhage, aged 52, and was buried in St Peter's Church graveyard, Woolton.


Леннон прожил со Смитом и его женой большую часть своего детства, и Смит научил молодого Леннона читать, читал ему детские стишки на ночь, а позже научил Леннона разгадывать кроссворды. Он также научил его рисовать и рисовать и купил ему его первую губную гармошку. Смит потерял сознание и умер в воскресенье в своем доме от кровоизлияния в печень в возрасте 52 лет и был похоронен на кладбище церкви Святого Петра в Вултоне.
