![]() ![]() There is also a dispute ongoing about the place of birth, Mornington House, Dublin, or Dangan Castle, County Meath, the two family homes, town and country respectively. The entry above is dated 23 rd April and the entry following is dated 24 th May all are in the same handwriting. There is at least a little likelihood that these records have been falsified, either intentionally or otherwise. In the baptismal register it is possible, albeit less likely, that the parish officials did not know what the date was. There was already a surviving eldest son, Richard Wellesley and a second son William. As such there may have been some haste to baptise their second Arthur (the future Duke of Wellington) with some haste, in case he should die without having received such a blessing. One possible explanation for this was that, sadly 2 of the Earl and Lady Mornington’s children had died in infancy, including a Arthur Wesley (the family name was changed later to Wellesley in order to Anglicise it), who dies in 1768 aged 6 or 7. However the baptismal register of the Parish of St Peter, Dublin records Arthur’s christening on 30th April 2 days before his birth. It is widely accepted that the 1 st May is his birthday, his own father and mother wrote that it was the 1 st May and Arthur himself celebrated it on this day. The birth of the future Duke of Wellington, in itself has some interesting nuances in that some facts are still disputed.
