John Francis Branegan (1842-1909) was born in Ireland in 1842. He married Margaret, also from Ireland, in the early 1860s, and at some point emigrated to England. They had a daughter, Katherine (b.1866 in Staffordshire), sons John (b.1870) and Arthur (b.1879), who both became stained glass painters, and a daughter Margaret (b.1884 in Whitby, Yorkshire). The family moved down to London at some point after Katherine's birth.
In 1871, John Francis is shown in the census as being a stained glass painter, but by 1891 he is listed as being an artist in watercolours.
Margaret died in 1892, aged 49, and subsequently John remarried Henrietta, who came from Great Yarmouth.
John Francis died in the St. Pancras area of London in 1909.

William Orpen's 'To the Unknown British Soldier in France'
There is a fascinating story about this picture that not only highlights the pomposity and arrogance of the politicians of the time of World War I but has also introduced me to the word 'vainglory', which I hadn't heard before but which is no doubt appropriate for some of today's leaders.
