Alfred Harmsworth had four acknowledged children by two different women. The first, Alfred Benjamin Smith, was born when Harmsworth was seventeen; the mother was a sixteen year old maidservant in his parents' house.[8] Smith died in 1930, allegedly in a mental home.[9] By 1900, Harmsworth had acquired a new mistress, an Irish woman named Kathleen Wrohan, about whom little is known but the name; she bore him two further sons and a daughter, and died in 1923.[10]
So shagged the house maid, got her pregnant, teen age mums and all, then got a second mistress had some more kids, all while having a wife as well.

Ireland hasn't been part of GB since the area now known as the Irish Sea was flooded. I'm not sure the land mass was even known as GB back then anyway.
Ireland was part of the UK at the time.
I'm not sure Ireland was part of the UK. It was part of the Empire and a subject nation without parliament or self-determination. I'm a little hazy on it though and open to correction.
It was the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.
It's now of course the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as the Brits done a deal where they could hang onto the wealthy industrial bit of Ireland, at least it was at the time of partition.
since the area now known as the Irish Sea was flooded [\quote]Yup global warming will do that, where next do we reckon? The Kernow Sea?
Oh Fairy Nuff. I'll go and re-swot my history. 😳 Anyway, we sorted it all out a couple of decades later. 🙂
The Kernow Sea?
