Are Houston Stewart Chamberlain and Neville Chamberlain related?

Answer 1

yes because they are related to me my last name is chamberlain so the answer is YES!!!!!! -------------------------------- Apparently not. Houston Stewart Chamberlain was the son of William Charles Chamberlain, who was the son of Sir Henry Chamberlain, 1st Baronet (1773-1829). Sir Henry was the illegitimate son of the M.P. Henry Fane, but I cannot find who his mother was or where he got the surname 'Chamberlain'. Neville Chamberlain was the son of the prominant politician Joseph Chamberlain, who was the son of London shoe manufacturer Joseph Chamberlain (1796-1894). The source of some claims that they were related may be the fact that Houston Stewart Chamberlain had an uncle named Field-Marshall Sir Neville Chamberlain (1820-1902), who earned a military reputation in India. Interestingly, Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was a member of the Eugenics Society, a racial theory which was supported by Houston Stewart Chamberlain and which informed the Nazi party (of which he was a member before his death in 1927).

Answer 2

No. You probably mean Arthur Neville Chamberlain(1869-1940), Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.

And yes, if you mean Field Marshal Sir Neville Chamberlain (1820-1902), prominence in Munity etc., command of Madras Army, final service with Roberts in South Africa.

Prof. Field wrote, in his excellent biography "Evangelist of Race" the following:

"Most decorated of all was Houston's favorite uncle and boyhood hero, Sir Neville Chamberlain, who won fame for his bravery in the Afghan and Sikh Wars and in the Mutiny. He was eventually promoted to Field Marshal by Queen Victoria and made a Knight Commander of the Bath." (p. 19)

Nice question, though.
