His father, Francis Beaufort Edgeworth, was descended from French Huguenots and was a restless philosophy student at Cambridge on his way to Germany when he decided to elope with a teenage Catalonian refugee he met on the steps of the British Museum. One of the outcomes of their marriage was Ysidro Francis Edgeworth .... Richard Lovell Edgeworth was his grandfather, and the writer Maria Edgeworth his aunt.
